When I was 16 I received a ticket for driving without a license. Im 18 years old now and have been residing in Oklahoma for the past 2 years. I want to apply for the Oklahoma drivers license. Are they going to be able to know the ticket I received 2 years ago? Can I still apply for a license in my new state? Thank you.

Thank you for asking Erwin.

It seems like you were convicted for driving without a license and without insurance when you were in Ohio. Even though you are a minor, if you drive without a driver’s license, Ohio could have started a driving record for you already and included these infraction. You will likely going to get points and convictions added on your MVR before you even have a license.

Its best if you took care of your ticket in Ohio previously by going to court or other means than you should contact the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to straighten this out. If you ignored the conviction or moved to Oklahoma before your offense were handed out you need to take care of them now. You may contact Ohio’s BMV to make sure how to reinstate your license from suspension, so that you can obtain an OK license.

Goodluck!
