The short answer.
It could. Missing a deadline or mishandling the license process can put your driving privileges at risk. Depending on your case, an appeal or an ignition-interlock program may offer a way forward.
Check your deadlines
Your license case is separate from your criminal case. Waiting for court can mean waiting too long.
Confirm your mailing address
Make sure Service Oklahoma has your current address. Save every notice and envelope so we can verify the dates.
Review your driving options
We assess an appeal and IDAP, Oklahoma’s ignition-interlock program, against your circumstances and daily driving needs.
Two deadlines. One reason to act now.
A license-revocation appeal generally must be filed within 30 days after Service Oklahoma mails the notice. A separate driving-record benefit may be available to eligible first-time drivers who enroll in IDAP within 30 days after arrest and complete the remaining requirements. We review both timelines with you.

A little more clarity
Common questions.
Get answers, then talk through the facts of your case with an attorney.
Can I still drive after my arrest?
That depends on your current license status and restrictions. Confirm authorization with Service Oklahoma before driving; having the license card is not enough.
Does a DUI dismissal fix my license?
Not automatically. The license process is separate, so it needs attention alongside your criminal defense.
