License Suspensions
Violations, Suspensions, & Reinstatements
Your driving privileges may be affected by various traffic offenses, criminal offenses, insurance and ticket offenses, and more. If your license has been suspended or revoked, you can learn about specific actions you must take to regain your driving privileges.
Impaired Driving (IDAP)
The State of Oklahoma offers the Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP), which allows you to demonstrate your ability and willingness to separate drinking from driving. It utilizes an ignition interlock device (IID) to help you determine when it is safe for you to drive. IDAP will be administered by the Board of Tests (BOT) if your DUI arrest was made on or after November 1, 2022 and is required to be completed before you are eligible to reinstate a suspended license.
Modified Driver License
In some instances, you may be eligible for a Modified Driver License. Examples of cases that may permit a Modified Driver License include point suspensions arising from accumulation of traffic violations, non DUI-related suspensions, or an attempt to elude an officer. Modified Driver Licenses are not available for DUI-related offenses.
Provisional Driver License
Service Oklahoma offers the Provisional Driver License Program (PDLP). The PDLP allows drivers to obtain driving privileges after completing the suspension or revocation while they continue to pay off their license fees.
