What Oklahoma law requires
Oklahoma's ignition interlock, SR-22, and reinstatement rules are set by the statute and agency rules cited below. The values in the tables on this page are taken from those sources and are not interpretations of how they apply to any particular case.

Ignition interlock requirement
| Item | Oklahoma rule |
|---|---|
| IID on first offense | Required |
| Minimum IID period, first offense | No less than 180 active ignition-interlock days, with the last 90 days violation-free (BOT IDAP first-offense program length; 47 O.S. § 6-205.1(A)(1)) |
| Minimum IID period, repeat offense | No less than 365 active ignition-interlock days for a second offense and 730 for a third or subsequent offense, each with the last 90 days violation-free (BOT IDAP; revocation of at least 1 year / 2 years under § 6-205.1(A)(2)-(3)) |
Oklahoma's interlock mandate is administrative and attaches to the DUI arrest/revocation rather than to conviction. Under 47 O.S. § 6-205.1(A)(1), a first alcohol-related revocation (test failure under § 754, refusal under § 753, or conviction under § 6-205(A)(2)) lasts 'no less than one hundred eighty (180) days and until the person completes the Impaired Driver Accountability Program' (IDAP). Under § 6-212.5(A)(1) the IDAP rules require 'installation of an approved ignition interlock device for the periods set forth in Section 6-205.1'; the Board of Tests states that for arrests on or after November 1, 2022 IDAP completion is required and 'an ignition interlock device is mandatory.' Medical exemptions are available for persons who cannot provide a 1.2-liter breath sample (§ 6-212.5(A)(5)); exempt persons receive no driving privileges during the revocation. Courts may separately order an interlock as a sentencing condition under § 11-902, which runs concurrently with and is credited against the IDAP installation (§ 6-212.3(B)-(C)).

SR-22 requirement
An SR-22 is a certificate an insurer files with the state to confirm that a driver carries the liability coverage the state requires. Some states use an FR-44 or a different form for alcohol-related offenses; where Oklahoma does, the sources below say so.
| SR-22 filing required after a DUI | No |
|---|---|
| Filing period | Not applicable |
47 O.S. § 6-212(C) enumerates the conditions for reinstating a suspended or revoked license (expiration of the order, payment of the processing/trauma-care/assessment fees, and the $25 reinstatement fee), and § 6-212.5(B) lists the IDAP completion certificate, the § 6-212.2 alcohol/drug assessment, and 'payment of the required statutory fees' as the conditions for reinstatement after IDAP; none of these is an SR-22 or proof-of-financial-responsibility filing. In Title 47, 'proof of financial responsibility' filings appear only in the Financial Responsibility Act (accident security and unpaid-judgment provisions, §§ 7-201 et seq.) and § 7-605 (failure to furnish proof of insurance). No Service Oklahoma page addressing SR-22 filings was found.
What the source says (2)
- SR-22 filing required after a DUI
“shall remain under suspension or revocation and shall not be reinstated until: 1. The expiration of each such revocation or suspension order; 2. The person has paid to Service Oklahoma: ... 3. The person has paid to Service Oklahoma a single reinstatement fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00).”
- SR-22 requirement
“B. Upon successful completion of the program, in accordance with the rules of the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, the person will be provided a completion certificate. Upon presentation of the IDAP completion certificate and documentation required by Section 6-212.2 of this title”

Exemptions and special cases
Four questions readers ask once an interlock is ordered — motorcycles, employer vehicles, medical inability to give a breath sample, and reduced-cost programs — answered as Oklahoma's interlock program page or statute states them.
| Question | Oklahoma rule |
|---|---|
| Motorcycles | Not addressed on the official pages read Neither the Board of Tests IDAP program pages nor the interlock provisions of Title 47 (§§ 6-205.1, 6-212.3, 6-212.5, 11-902) address motorcycles. The restricted license under § 6-212.3(A)(1) authorizes the person 'only' to operate 'a vehicle upon which an approved and properly functioning ignition interlock device is installed', without any vehicle-type carve-out. |
| Employer-owned vehicle | Exempt with conditions The Board of Tests may grant an employer exception for a company vehicle owned or leased by the employer as shown on the registration (rental vehicles do not qualify). Only BOT IDAP participants in a 180-day (first-revocation, 47 O.S. § 6-205.1(A)(1)) program are eligible; the exception applies only while driving in the course and scope of employment and only authorizes Class D driving. The request must be in writing, notarized on the employer's official letterhead, submitted by the employer with a copy of the vehicle registration; it is not accepted when the person is self-employed, owns or controls part of the business, or is employed by a first-degree relative (spouse, parent, child) or someone in the same household. The participant must still install a device on a vehicle listed on the Installation Verification Form and must carry the approved exception whenever operating the employer vehicle. Denials may be appealed. What the source says“The employer vehicle must be owned or leased by the company, as reflected on the vehicle registration. Rental vehicles do not qualify for exception. Only BOT IDAP Participants enrolled in a 180 Day program are eligible and the exception only authorizes Class D driving privileges.” |
| Unable to provide a breath sample | Available The Board of Tests issues a medical exemption from the interlock requirement to a person whose licensed pulmonologist certifies on BOT Form INT.5.7 that the person is unable to provide one continuous breath sample of at least 1.2 liters due to diminished lung capacity or another medical condition. The person applies to IDAP, uploads the Service Oklahoma Notice and Order of Revocation with the signed form, and delivers the Board's exemption letter to Service Oklahoma. A person granted a medical exemption pays no program fee and installs no device, but receives no driving privileges during the revocation (47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(5)). The Board also notes it has reduced the required minimum breath volume from 1.5 to 1.2 liters for any participant who requests it. Denials may be appealed. What the source says“from a licensed pulmonologist specifically stating their medical opinion concludes the person is unable to provide one continuous breath sample of at least one and two-tenths (1.2) Liters due to diminished lung capacity or other medical condition” |
| Reduced-cost / indigent program | Available — Affordability Accommodations (BOT IDAP) Enrolled BOT IDAP participants who show valid proof that they are actively receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits qualify. The interlock manufacturer distributes a credit into the participant's account at no more than $25.00 per 30 days, up to a maximum of $150.00 for a first license revocation (§ 6-205.1(A)(1)), $300.00 for a second (§ 6-205.1(A)(2)) or $450.00 for a third or subsequent revocation (§ 6-205.1(A)(3)). Coupons, rebates, refunds or discounts otherwise available to any customer may not be counted as the credit. A participant who does not remain compliant with the program or with device lease fees forfeits eligibility. Accommodations are available only after enrollment; the participant emails proof of TANF or SNAP to boardoftests@bot.ok.gov. The statute (47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(7)) also directs criteria for persons whose family income is at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. Denials may be appealed. What the source says“BOT IDAP Participants meeting affordability requirements shall receive the following credit that shall be distributed into the participants account by the manufacturer not to exceed a frequency of $25.00 per thirty (30) days.” |
| Statutory affordability criteria (47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(7)) | The IDAP rules must include criteria for affordability accommodations for persons on public assistance or with family income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. What the source says“Criteria for granting affordability accommodations to persons on public assistance programs or whose family income is at or below one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the federal poverty level.” |
| Medical exemption grants no driving privileges (47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(5)) | The statutory medical-exemption criterion is a pulmonologist's certification of a documented medical condition preventing a breath sample of at least 1.2 liters; the exemption does not grant driving privileges during the revocation. What the source says“Criteria for medical exemptions from ignition interlock requirements for persons submitting a pulmonologist’s certification indicating the person has a documented medical condition preventing the person from providing a breath sample of at least one and two-tenths (1.2) liters.” |
| Medical exemption: no program fee or device, no driving privileges until eligible (BOT IDAP overview) | The Board's program overview states the effect of a medical exemption on the $150 program fee, the device and driving privileges. What the source says“*A person granted a medical exemption will not be required to pay a program fee or install an ignition interlock device, but they will not be granted driving privileges by Service Oklahoma until they are eligible.” |
| Employer exceptions limited to first revocations (47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(6)) | The statute authorizes employer exceptions for vehicles owned or leased by the employer only for revocations under § 6-205.1(A)(1) (first alcohol-related revocation) and states the exception does not relieve the person from completing IDAP. What the source says“Employer exceptions under this paragraph are only authorized for revocations imposed in accordance with paragraph 1 of subsection A of Section 6-205.1 of this title” |
| Driving a non-interlock vehicle prohibited except an employer vehicle (47 O.S. § 11-902a(C)) | A person permitted to drive on condition of an interlock may not drive any vehicle without a device unless driving a vehicle of an employer in accordance with § 6-212.3(A). What the source says“No person granted permission to drive a motor vehicle on the condition of installation of an ignition interlock device shall drive any vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device unless driving a vehicle of an employer in accordance with subsection A of Section 6-212.3” |

Frequently asked questions
- Is an ignition interlock required after a first DUI arrest in Oklahoma?
- Yes, through the Impaired Driver Accountability Program. Under 47 O.S. § 6-205.1(A)(1), a first alcohol-related revocation lasts at least 180 days 'and until the person completes the Impaired Driver Accountability Program,' and § 6-212.5(A)(1) requires IDAP rules to include installation of an approved ignition interlock device for those periods. The Board of Tests states that for arrests on or after November 1, 2022, IDAP completion is required and an interlock is mandatory, subject to a medical exemption.
- How long must the interlock stay installed in Oklahoma?
- The Board of Tests lists IDAP program lengths of no less than 180 active ignition-interlock days for a first offense, 365 for a second offense, and 730 for a third or subsequent offense, and 47 O.S. § 6-212.5(A)(4) requires violation-free periods of no less than 90 days at the end of each program. Program lengths are not served concurrently; one IDAP program length applies per offense.
- Can a person drive during the revocation period in Oklahoma?
- Under 47 O.S. § 6-205.1(D), each revocation period is mandatory and neither Service Oklahoma nor a court may grant hardship driving privileges during it 'except under the Impaired Driver Accountability Program.' The Board of Tests states the revocation and IDAP run concurrently and that a person may enroll as soon as the revocation takes effect; a restricted driver license under § 6-212.3 carries a $50 fee.
- What does Oklahoma charge to reinstate a license after a DUI revocation?
- Under 47 O.S. § 6-212(C), a revocation under §§ 6-205, 6-205.1, 753 or 754 requires a $75 processing fee and a $200 trauma-care special assessment, plus a $15 fee for alcohol-related arrests, and a single $25 reinstatement fee, for $315 in total. Section 6-212.5(B) additionally requires the IDAP completion certificate and the § 6-212.2 alcohol and drug assessment before Service Oklahoma reinstates.
- Who approves ignition interlock devices in Oklahoma?
- The Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence. 47 O.S. § 6-212.3(D) requires an interlock 'approved by the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence,' and § 6-212.5(C)-(E) authorizes the Board to regulate devices, providers, service centers and technicians. The Board's approved vendors and devices list is published on its Ignition Interlock System site.
