Channel Your Inner Superhero: Online Submission! That's right, you can be a digital daredevil and submit your documents electronically. Just head over to the Service Oklahoma website [Oklahoma.gov] and whoosh! Your medical card is on its way. Just remember, you'll also need the Oklahoma Commercial Driver Licensee Medical Self-Certification Affidavit, which you can download from the same website.
Operation Snail Mail: The Classic Approach. For those who prefer a more traditional touch, you can always submit your documents by mail. Just print out that affidavit, grab a copy of your medical card (make sure it's a clear copy!), and send it all to:
Service Oklahoma
CDL Medical Certificates
PO Box 11415
Oklahoma City, OK 73136
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.

Important Note: No matter which method you choose, make sure your medical card is still valid! DOT medical cards have expiration dates, so don't get caught driving on an expired one. Nobody wants to be that guy.
