DUI and Professional Licenses in Oklahoma

The consequences of an Oklahoma DUI conviction can be far reaching. From fines and court costs to license loss and, in some cases, time behind bars, a DUI will have a significant impact on your life.

But did you know that a DUI can directly affect your job? Depending on your profession, you may be required by law to disclose a DUI arrest and/or conviction. And any professional licensing you may hold could be at stake.

Professions that may be impacted by a DUI include:

• Pilots
• Realtors
• Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals
• Teachers
• Lawyers
• Commercial drivers
• Merchant Marines
• Military service personnel

Could I Lose My Professional License?

Please note that the list above is not exhaustive.  The qualifications for holding and maintaining a professional license vary by vocation.

Depending on your profession, reporting requirements may be triggered just by the arrest, whereas others have no reporting requirements unless there is a conviction.  It is important to hire an attorney who will investigate the exact consequences you may face if you receive a DUI conviction.
