Okla. Admin. Code § 260:135-5-13

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

Section 260:135-5-13 - Procedure for obtaining a renewal identification card

(a)General requirements. During the month of expiration or as provided in (c) of this Section, any identification card holder, who wishes to keep his or her identification card in force, may present proper identification to a Licensed Operator and pay the required fee. REAL ID Non-Compliant Identification cards issued to individuals who have attained the age of 65 or older are issued for an indefinite period of time and are not subject to this Section. Failure to renew an identification card during the month of expiration shall not relieve the person of the obligation to renew the identification card under the provisions required by law and this Section if the person wishes to keep the identification card in force.

(b)Required identification.

(1)Renewal with expiring or expired identification card. The expiring or expired REAL ID Non-Compliant identification card provided as proof of identification may be retained by the cardholder, after a hole has been punched through the identification number of the card or the lower right corner of the card has been cut off by either a Licensed Operator or a Driver License Examiner.

(2)Renewal without identification card. Any person who does not have the expiring or expired identification card shall provide both primary and secondary identification as prescribed in OAC 260:135-5-3(b) for a REAL ID Compliant identification card or OAC 260:135-5-3(c) for a REAL ID Non-Compliant identification card.

(c)Early renewal of an identification card. Any identification card holder may renew his or her identification card not more than one (1) year prior to the expiration date.

(d)Change of identification card number. Although the applicant must submit a valid social security number, the use of the cardholder's SSN as the identification card number is prohibited.

(e)Persons who may appear before a motor license agent. An individual who has previously held an Oklahoma identification card may apply directly to a Licensed Operator for renewal of the previous Oklahoma identification card, upon establishing Oklahoma residence and following the applicable procedure for renewal.

(f)Renewing identification card - not in person. Service Oklahoma may create an alternative method where any Oklahoma Identification card holder may apply to Service Oklahoma to renew his or her identification card without appearing in person as provided in this Section.

(1) The Identification card holder shall make application online, when online application is made available by Service Oklahoma, or in writing to Service Oklahoma and shall submit to Service Oklahoma:

(A) copies of documentary evidence of the applicant's name and date of birth,

(B) the applicant's Identification card number,

(C) both the Oklahoma residence address and Oklahoma mailing address If applicable, the temporary mailing address with the expiration date of the temporary mailing address. If an expiration date is not provided for the temporary mailing address, the system will default to an expiration date of thirty (30) days from the issuance of the renewed Oklahoma credential, and

(D) the applicant's signature.

(2) Submission of the items required in (1) shall be made in one of the following manners:

(A) online application, when online application is made available by Service Oklahoma: service.ok.gov, or

(B) by first class mail: Service Oklahoma, PO Box 11415, Oklahoma City, OK 73136.

(3) Method of payment:

(A) online: if the application is submitted online, payment must be made by credit card.

(B) by mail: if the application is submitted by mail, payment in the form of cashier's check or money order must be included along with the required documents. No personal checks or other forms of payment will be accepted.

(4) If Service Oklahoma approves the renewal identification card without appearing in person, pursuant to the requirements of this chapter, and if the digital photograph and digital signature of the applicant are available from the files of Service Oklahoma, Service Oklahoma shall create the renewal identification card using that photo and signature. A REAL ID Compliant identification can only be renewed by mail if there are no material changes requested.

(5) Service Oklahoma may mail the renewal identification card only to an applicant who is temporarily residing out of state to the out of state address provided by the licensee. The licensee shall provide a pre-paid self - addressed stamped envelope.

(6) If Service Oklahoma denies the renewal identification card to the applicant pursuant to this Section, Service Oklahoma shall notify the applicant in writing of the denial, the reason for the denial, return any payment submitted by the applicant, and the applicant shall be required to appear in person for the renewal identification card.

(7) A renewal or replacement may be requested up to three (3) consecutive times. The card holder must appear in person before a Driver License Examiner or Licensed Operator at the time of renewal after the previous three (3) renewals by mail.
