Time Transfer Credit
In Oklahoma, it is required to hold a Learner Permit for 180 days before receiving a Driver License. Depending on your Oklahoma driver education status, your time requirements may vary:
If you received your permit before you turned 15 1/2
You will only receive credit from the day you turned 15 1/2 until present.
If you received your permit after you turned 15 1/2
You will receive credit from the issue date of your out-of-state permit.
