You also need proof of your Social Security number. An original Social Security card works, or a W-2 form, tax return, or 1099 form with your full number on it. A birth certificate or passport counts as proof of identity and date of birth. For proof of residency in Guymon, bring a utility bill, lease agreement, or mortgage statement dated within the last 60 days with your name and address on it.

If you are renewing and your address has not changed, you may not need all of these documents. Call the Guymon office to ask what you need before you go.

Online renewal takes a few minutes and you receive your new license by mail within one to two weeks. You cannot renew online if your license has been expired for more than one year, if you need to update your address, or if you have had a suspension or revocation. In those cases, you must visit the Guymon office in person.

Getting your first driver license or taking the test

If you are getting your first Oklahoma driver license, you must visit the Guymon office to take the written test and the driving test. You cannot do this online or by mail. Bring all the documents listed above plus proof that you have completed a driver education course if you are under 16.

The written test covers Oklahoma traffic laws and road signs. You have three chances to pass it. The driving test happens after you pass the written test, usually on the same day or within a few days. You drive with an examiner in your own vehicle or a vehicle provided by the office. Bring a valid permit or license if you have one, and make sure your vehicle has working brakes, lights, and wipers.

Replacing a lost or stolen license
