Complete the knowledge/vision step

Prepare from the current Driver Manual and use Service Oklahoma's written-test scheduling options unless a qualifying driver-education completion waives the knowledge exam.

A learner permit is optional at 18+

An adult can proceed without a learner permit, but if they choose a permit for practice, Service Oklahoma requires it to be held at least 30 days before the unrestricted-license step.

Prepare the vehicle and documents

Use the Drive Test Center checklist for insurance, registration, working safety equipment and other vehicle requirements.
