ODEQ Raising
Operator & Laboratory Licensing Fees
The ODEQ is proposing to raise
the Operator and Laboratory Certification and Licensing Fees
beginning 01 July 2008. The new proposed
rules can be found at the ODEQ web at:
http://www.deq.state.ok.us./WQDnew/wwwac/proposed_rules/dec2007_710Rule.pdf
Please go to the above site to
view all the new fees.
ODEQ Enforcing the
"3-Week" Rule on Exam Applications
Please be advised that ODEQ is
enforcing their "3-Week" Ruling on getting your Exam Application and
Documentation in a minimum of 3 weeks BEFORE
you take the State Certification Examinations. You can get it in earlier
than that, but no later than three (3) weeks before the exam dates.
This also means, you will also
need to notify the training institution about your enrollment into a class at
least 3 - 4 weeks BEFORE the class
dates. And due to some training facilities filling up rather quickly,
notifying the training institutions 2 - 3 months ahead of time would be greatly
advisable.
Please also be aware that
sending in your exam application to the state does
NOT mean you are enrolled in a class. The exam application
just notifies ODEQ that you want to take an Exam. You
MUST still notify the Training
Institution to make you Class Enrollments and to obtain the class number for the
exam application.

ODEQ Procedure (and Affidavit)
For Obtaining Individual
Licenses and
Certifications

For Explanation
Click Here For New
Documentations
Click Here For Documents and
Exam Application
ALL (New and Existing) Operators
will need to supply these
documents, either at the time of taking an exam or at the time of renewal, which
ever comes first.
Operators
will NOT be allowed to renew or take an examination without these
documents on file.
The
Birth Certificate MUST BE a the Original Certified Birth Certificate -
NOT a Copy of it.
If you
want, or need, your Birth Certificate back, please send a self address stamped
envelope and a note to ODEQ with the documents requesting the birth certificate be sent back to you.
ODEQ will make a copy of it and send it back to you, but it HAS TO BE
THE ORIGINAL CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
There is
usually a 2 - 3 week turn around time to order a new Certified Birth
Certificate from the state agencies.
Due to
over 7000 Operators needing to do this, the time it takes to get your Birth
Certificate back may take longer.
Do
NOT wait until June to send the documents in to the ODEQ. It would be
impossible for ODEQ to process all 7000 + operator documentation in June.
So
beat the rush and confusion and do it today.

Oklahoma Driver License
Renewals
DO
NOT LET YOUR CURRENT OKLAHOMA DRIVER'S LICENSE EXPIRE.
If your driver’s
license is expired, even one day, we cannot renew it. You must first go to a
driver’s license examiner. At the examiner’s office you must present a
STATE issued birth certificate or a US Passport. If you have had your name
changed, (i.e. married or divorced or both) you must also provide legal
documentation (marriage license, divorce decree, etc) attesting to that fact.
They may also require you to take the written & driving exams over again.
So, be prepared to spend a half to full day at the examiner's office.
