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.

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.
