Service Oklahoma (driver license): Translation Requirements for Documents in Another Language

Worth knowing about Service Oklahoma

Service Oklahoma requirements in detail

One document, in a staff procedure

Oklahoma's only published translation rule we found is a line in a table for examiners.

SOP A.02 lists what each country's applicant brings, and for Canada, Germany, France, Taiwan and US territories it says "English translation of traffic record, dated within last 60 days."

For Germany, France and Taiwan, examiners use that record as proof of eligibility, with no email to the Help Desk. The record must be recent when you apply.

The procedure says who brings what, not who translates. It does not mention translating the license, a passport or a civil record, and the required documents page is silent on translation too.

Since this is an internal document, with a next-review date of February 2026 that has passed, ask an office to confirm before you order.

South Korea and other countries

Korean licenses follow two routes.

Normally the applicant, at least 18, presents the Korean license with an International Driving Permit from the National or Metropolitan Police Agency; if those are valid, only the vision test remains, and the permit is not surrendered.

The second route, for applicants with no permit, uses an English translation of the Korean driving record issued within the past six months (Service Oklahoma SOP A.02: Class D transfers).

For any other country, the skills test can be waived only if its examination requirements are on file with Service Oklahoma and meet its standards (Service Oklahoma SOP A.02: Class D transfers). The procedure does not list those countries and sets no translation rule for them.

Documents people usually translate

• Traffic or driving record for a transfer from Canada, Germany, France (Category B), Taiwan or a US territory
• Korean driving record, when the applicant has no International Driving Permit

What an eVerbary translation includes

• A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
• A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload or print.
• $24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
• Notarization added at checkout ($34.90 per order) when the office asks for a notarized translation.

Submitting the translation to Service Oklahoma

• Bring the record and its translation with your foreign license and your identity, lawful presence and residency documents to a licensing office; foreign transfers follow the out-of-state process with the added requirements (procedure, transfer page).

• The record must be dated within 60 days, so order it from your home authority first and the translation right after.

How to order

1. Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
2. Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
3. Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and submit it with the copy of the original wherever the office asks for it.
