Whenever any person is convicted or pleads guilty in any\n\ncourt having jurisdiction over offenses committed under Section 1-\n\n101 et seq. of this title, or any other act or municipal ordinance\n\nor act or ordinance of another state regulating the operation of\n\nmotor vehicles on highways, such court shall make immediate report\n\nto Service Oklahoma setting forth the name of the offender, the\n\nnumber of the driver license and the penalty imposed. Said report\n\nshall be submitted by the judge or the clerk of the court upon forms\n\nfurnished or approved by Service Oklahoma.\n\nB. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of said report or upon\n\nreceipt of a report of a conviction in another state relating to the\n\noperation of a motor vehicle, may in its discretion suspend the\n\ndriving privilege of such person for such period of time as in its\n\njudgment is justified, subject to the limitations provided in this\n\ntitle or any other act or municipal ordinance regulating the\n\noperation of motor vehicles on highways. Any action taken by\n\nService Oklahoma shall be in addition to the penalty imposed by the\n\ncourt subject to the limitations outlined by statute.\n\nC. Service Oklahoma, upon receipt of a report of a conviction\n\nin another state relating to the operation of a motor vehicle, may\n\nin its discretion suspend the driving privilege of such person. Any\n\naction taken by Service Oklahoma shall not exceed the penalty\n\nimposed by a court or Service Oklahoma in the State of Oklahoma for\n\na violation substantially similar to the conviction in the other\n\njurisdiction which did not result in a revocation of Oklahoma\n\ndriving privileges.\n\nD. Following receipt of a notice of any nonpayment of fine and\n\ncosts for a moving traffic violation with a recommendation of\n\nsuspension of driving privileges of a defendant from any court\n\nwithin this state, as provided for in Section 983 of Title 22 of the\n\nOklahoma Statutes, Service Oklahoma shall suspend the driving\n\nprivilege of the named person no earlier than one hundred eighty\n\n(180) days after giving notice as provided in Section 2-116 of this\n\ntitle. A person whose license is subject to suspension pursuant to\n\nthis section may avoid the effective date of the suspension or, if\n\nsuspended, shall be eligible for reinstatement, if otherwise\n\neligible, upon:\n\n1. Making application to Service Oklahoma;\n\n2. Showing proof of payment of the total amount of the fine and\n\ncost or a release from the court or court clerk; and\n\n3. Submitting the processing and reinstatement fees, as\n\nprovided for in Section 6-212 of this title.\n\nProvided, however, in cases of hardship, as determined by the\n\ncourt, or proof of enrollment in a federal or state government\n\nassistance program, including, but not limited to, Social Security\n\nor the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the person shall\n\nbe placed on a payment plan by the court, and the court shall send a\n\nrelease to Service Oklahoma for reinstatement purposes. The court\n\nmay submit another suspension request pursuant to this section if\n\nthe person fails to honor the payment plan and it is found that the\n\nperson is financially able but willfully refuses or neglects to\n\nhonor the payment plan. In such case, Service Oklahoma shall again\n\nsuspend the person's driving privilege for nonpayment of fine and\n\ncosts for the same moving traffic violation. Upon reinstatement\n\nafter suspension for nonpayment of fine and costs for a moving\n\ntraffic violation Service Oklahoma may remove such record of\n\nsuspension from the person's driving record and retain an internal\n\nrecord for audit purposes. A court within this state may order\n\nService Oklahoma to waive any requirement that fines and costs be\n\nsatisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a\n\nprovisional license provided under Section 6-212 of this title.\n\nE. Upon the receipt of a record of conviction for eluding or\nrecord of\n\nsuspension from the person's driving record and retain an internal\n\nrecord for audit purposes. A court within this state may order\n\nService Oklahoma to waive any requirement that fines and costs be\n\nsatisfied by a person prior to that person being eligible for a\n\nprovisional license provided under Section 6-212 of this title.\n\nE. Upon the receipt of a record of conviction for eluding or\n\nattempting to elude a peace officer, Service Oklahoma shall suspend\n\nthe driving privilege of the person:\n\n1. For the first conviction as indicated on the driving record\n\nof the person, for a period of six (6) months;\n\n2. For the second conviction as indicated on the driving record\n\nof the person, for a period of one (1) year. Such period shall not\n\nbe modified; and\n\n3. For the third or subsequent conviction as indicated on the\n\ndriving record of the person, for a period of three (3) years. Such\n\nperiod shall not be modified.\n\nF. Any person whose driving privilege is so suspended under the\n\nprovisions of this section shall have the right of appeal, as\n\nprovided in Section 6-211 of this title.","path":["OK Code","Title 47"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os47.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"326db2caf3bd6f4773e00dbebe2a5a5422cd54ad01c9cfe28c61cc635bd47891","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-47-47-6-205.3","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-47-47-6-206.1"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
