DPS: Error Found On Some OK Driver’s Licenses, ID Cards

The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced on Friday that an error has been found on some Oklahoma driver licenses and identification cards.

According to the DPS, the holographic security emblem that should appear on the front of each individual license or card may, in some instances, appear on the back or not at all.

License holders and ID card holders are asked to examine their documents to make sure the image appears on the front. (See attached image for an example of the correct holographic image.)

DPS officials said the licenses and ID cards with incorrect or missing images are still considered valid, but will likely cause delays when the holder attempts to use them for personal identification in places such as airports, banks or federal buildings.

Those who have licenses or ID cards with incorrect images are encouraged to return to the Motor License Agency (Tag Agency) where the document was issued. A corrected license or ID card will be issued at no charge. Individuals are urged to do so at their earliest convenience.

To confirm which tag agency issued the faulty license or ID card, the bearer may check the four-digit number printed at the top right corner of the photograph on the card. The corresponding list of tag agencies is posted on the DPS website.

Public inquiries may be directed to the DPS Driver License Help Desk at (405)-425-2020.
