Drivers are required to submit an application for motorcycle license renewal in Oklahoma at the same time that they renew their regular driver’s license. To renew a motorcycle license, drivers must renew their current Class A, B, C or D license that carries the OK motorcycle endorsement. Unless the driver holds a separate license specifically for three-wheeled motorcycles, M endorsements can only be renewed through the renewal of the entire license. In Oklahoma, driver’s licenses generally last four years before they need to be renewed.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) processes all bike license renewal requests through the Driver’s License Services Division. The DPS also accepts requests for the renewal of permits for motorcycle drivers. All renewal applications must be submitted in person to a DPS licensing office, unless the driver is temporarily out of state. The DPS allows drivers in this situation to submit a renewal request by mail, if certain conditions are met. Keep reading to learn more about renewing licenses to operate motorcycles in Oklahoma.

When to Renew a Motorcycle License in Oklahoma

Renewing a motorcycle license in Oklahoma is required at least once every four years for license holders. The motorcycle license expiration date for most OK driver’s licenses is four years from the last day of the month that the license was originally issued. The expiration date of licenses issued to drivers who are not American citizens will expire after four years or when the driver’s permission to stay in the U.S. expires, whichever is sooner.

Drivers can choose to renew a bike license at any point from one year before its expiration date up to 30 days after its expiration date without facing any penalties. The DPS requires drivers renewing after this period to meet additional application criteria.

Eligibility for Motorcycle License Renewal in Oklahoma

Motorcycle renewal requirements in Oklahoma are the same as the regular driver’s license renewal requirements because both are done at the same time through the renewal of the same document. The DPS does not usually require additional documentation to renew an M1 license or other types of regular licenses with endorsements unless specific conditions apply.

Unless a driver is applying for special privileges, they do not normally need to meet additional criteria to renew their license with an M endorsement. All drivers renewing any type of driver’s license in Oklahoma must be at least 16 years of age and be able to provide proof of identity and state residency.

Oklahoma drivers seeking to renew a motorcycle endorsement that has been expired for more than one year will be required to provide two forms of identity in addition to proof of legal presence in the U.S., unless already provided to the DPS on or after November 1, 2007. How to renew a motorcycle license does not vary based on the driver’s age, but instead his or her license type.

The DPS recommends that drivers whose license has been expired between one and three years and who are American citizens submit an original or certified birth certificate to the DPS as the necessary proof. Drivers without a valid birth certificate must present a primary identification document to the DPS in person.
