(3)Physical Sex change. The cardholder shall show an original or certified court order for name change, if applicable, and a notarized statement on letterhead from the physician who performed the sex change operation indicating the customer or licensee has undergone a complete physical sex change.

A REAL ID Compliant identification card may not be issued by mail if there is a material change;

(B) the applicant's Identification card number; and

(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.

(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

(B) by mail: if the applicant is submitting the application by mail, the payment in the form of a 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 replacement of the 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 replacement identification card using that photo and signature,

(5) Service Oklahoma may mail the temporary Oklahoma identification card only to an applicant who is temporarily residing out of state to the out of state address provided by the licensee.
