Oklahoma CDL Requirements
The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) records your medical certification status and the information on your medical examiner’s certificate on your Commercial driver’s license system (CDLIS) record.
All Oklahoma CDL holders must provide Self-Certification information to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety regarding the type of commercial motor vehicle operation they drive or expect to drive.
If you are operating Interstate Non-Excepted, you will also be required to submit a current medical examiner’s certificate to obtain a “certified” medical status as part of your driving record.
If you do not provide DPS with your self-certification and your medical examiner’s certificate and any required variance document DPS will notify you that you are no longer medically certified to operate a CMV in Non-Excepted Interstate commerce. DPS will then remove all your CDL privileges from your license.
Submit Your Self Certification Affidavit and Medical Certificate to Service Oklahoma
Submit the following two documents:
- Oklahoma Commercial Driver Licensee Medical Self-Certification Affidavit – download the form here from Service Oklahoma.
- Copy of your valid DOT medical card. Enlarge the copy to ensure that all information is legible.

Keep your Medical Certificate current with Oklahoma DPS
If you self-certify Non-Excepted Interstate and submit a medical certificate, you are required to keep a valid medical card on file with Oklahoma DPS.
If you fail to keep your medical examiner’s certificate up to date, Oklahoma DPS will notify you that you are no longer medically certified to operate a CMV in non-excepted Interstate commerce. DPS will then remove all your CDL privileges from your license.
Submit a legible copy of your medical certificate (medical card only, not the long form) to Service Oklahoma:

Special Information Updates Pertaining To ALL STATES
MEDICAL EXAMINERS MUST CONTINUE TO ISSUE MEDICAL CERTIFICATES TO ALL DRIVERS
The FMCSA has requested that all medical examiners continue providing drivers with a paper copy of the Medical Examiner’s Certificate – Form MCSA-5876, so that Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders can provide a copy to the State licensing agency, and the non-CDL drivers can provide the documentation to their employers and Federal and State enforcement officials.
The Agency is currently completing efforts to put into place an electronic system to enable medical examiners to transmit the medical certificate information from the National Registry system to the State licensing agencies.
Until that system is completed, which compliance date according FMCSA is June 23, 2025, medical examiners must continue to issue paper copies of the medical certificates to drivers who pass the medical exam.
ALL DRIVERS MUST CONTINUE TO CARRY A PAPER COPY OF THEIR MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
Commercial Drivers – You still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until FMCSA announces that this is no longer necessary.

In Oklahoma, if I have a NON CDL drivers License, but drive a CMV under 26,000 pounds, do I need to a have medical certificate?
@ Jim
Most states will require a medical card to operate any vehicle that is used for commerce. Confirm with your local drivers license department (DLD).
Who can I contact about getting a CDLIS Pointer Record Reset?
@ MMassengill
Probably your states DLD.
I work for a transportation company. When a CDL driver’s physical is nearing expiration, we have him go get a physical and then send it to DPS at the email address provided. If they do not respond can the CDL driver continue to work or does he have to wait for gov to respond that they have updated the database and recorded his physical? Can he drive if he has a copy of his new physical/medical card even if DPS has not responded to me sending it in?
@ Marjorie
Most states are running behind and as long as the driver has a valid card in his possession, he should be fine.
Beyond frustrated!!!!! Tried several times to email all the med forms, and the web address is wrong?! med@dps.state.ok.us doesn’t work.
Been on hold for 15 minutes, trying to get this handled.
Please. Help.
mec@dps*
I typed it wrong that time, but not the 3 times I tried sending his med card.
Need assistance with medical card we have submitted self certification form Need to verify that they have received this
@ Brandi R
That will require checking with your local drivers license department for their process.
I had a class A since 2007. In December 2021 I needed the star in the upper right corner. I was told I would have to self surrender my class A and obtain a class d here in Oklahoma. I had until 08/31/2023 on my class A. I want my class A back. But must I retake all the test.
@ Keith
Does not make sense. Most people were simply given/sent a new license with the star on it. Would recommend you go to the drivers license department and speak with a supervisor regarding this situation.
Is there somewhere we can check online for current self certification in Oklahoma. I had a to emailed in from state facility in earlyJanuary and it’s now March and my employer is still not seeing this updated in the system
@ Corey
That information is at a state level and should be available with your local drivers license department. Make further inquires with them.
Is there a grace period in Oklahoma on med exam cards.
@ Edward W
End of February to get it done and registered.
I had my CDL for almost 20yrs. In 2019 I could not pass my DOT physical because of high blood pressure, so I let my CDL go. Since then I have gotten a new DOT physical and everything is good. Will I have to take the tests again to get my CDL back?
@ Bruce S
You will need to confirm with your local drivers license department for the best answer.
Can you have a cdl in oklahoma if you have diabetes
@ Emily
Since cdl’s are state issued you would need to confirm with your local drivers license department.
Where is the expiration date located on my Medical Certificate
Do I understand it correctly that if a CDL driver in Oklahoma claims only intrastate driving that a medical card is not required? Is this true?
@ Kenneth P
That may or may not be true. You want to confirm your answer with your local drivers license department. Since each state is different and operates on differing guidelines and requirements, then they are the ones you need to talk to.
I work for Cleveland country no out of state trucking last time I renewed they told me I was Exempt
@ Mark m
Just confirm this statement with your local drivers license department.
Is there a website to check whether your medical card is current/valid? I have faxed it in, but have no confirmation that it was received.
@ Billy J
Your local/state drivers license department should be able to answer your questions.
Can you show me the website or give me a link so I can download the Health form for CDL driver to take to the doctor for my physical? My doctor told me I need to bring this document to him.
@ Tamela W
Any DOT/FMCSA registered doctor will have these forms on hand for you.
How long after your DOT physical expires does it take before you have to retake the test in Oklahoma?
@ Zack
You need to check with Oklahoma DMV for the best answer. Most states just want to see a valid medical card as soon as possible before forcing you to redo cdl.
Can I use a ID card if I do not have a valid drivers licence to get my CDL process going. I let my CDL lapse
@ Kassie A
Check with your state drivers license department for the best answer.
I have a class A CDL in Oklahoma. I was stoped in a personal vehicle and discovered my license had expired the day befor. Is there a grace period at all on the license??
@ Greg
You need to check with your local DLD for the answer.
Yes Ada ok
