Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024

Section 260:135-3-63 - Photographic procedures

(a) In order to provide a photograph which clearly identifies the licensee or cardholder, the photograph shall show a full front view of the face, from the hairline to the neck, of the applicant who shall be looking straight ahead.

(1) A photograph, which in the opinion of the Director of Service Oklahoma or his or her designee, distracts from the identification purpose, shall not be allowed to appear on an Oklahoma driver license or identification card.

(2) Objects, costumes, and gestures are not permitted within the photograph.

(3) Head coverings are not permitted in the photograph, except for religious or medical purposes, if the head covering:

(A) obscures or obstructs a full front view of the face,

(B) displays any:

(i) logo,

(ii) insignia, symbol, or regalia,

(iii) word or words,

(iv) letter, number, or character, or any combination thereof, or

(v) graphic design, other than the overall pattern of the fabric or material, or

(C) casts a shadow onto the face of the person, or

(D) is an object. As used in this subsection, object is defined as any item regardless of its composition and by the very nature or the manufacturer is not intended to be used as a head covering.

(4) Prescription or non-prescription glasses of any type shall be removed for the photograph.

(5) Profile style photographs are not permitted.

(b) Retakes of a photograph are permitted only at the time of making the license or card in order to obtain the correct photograph, as long as the Licensed Operator or the Licensed Operator's employee is still at the photograph-taking step in the procedure. Retakes of a photograph shall not be permitted at any other time in the issuance procedure, after the issuance procedure, or after the licensee or cardholder has left the Service Oklahoma location.

(c) Licensed Operators and their employees shall not take an additional photograph of any applicant, licensee, or cardholder unless authorized by the Director of Service Oklahoma or his or her designee.

(d) Applicants shall submit to the computer finger imaging process. Refusal shall result in no driver license being issued. [47 O.S. § 6-110.2(A)]

(e) Applicants shall sign and submit only their signature for a driver license or identification card. Nothing else may be added to the signature [47 O.S. §§ 6- 111(A)(1) and 6-301(H)]. The driver license or identification card shall not be issued if the applicant refuses to sign the driver license or identification card.

(f) Male applicants whose age is between 16 and 26 shall read the Selective Service statement, which shall appear on the signature pad. Signing and submitting their signature indicates agreement with the statement.
