Got mine in Ada, waited 5 minutes. Took approx 10 mins to get Real ID Issued. No problem and not painful at all.
My cost was 0 because I was 65. I got the 8 year license

Sounds pretty smooth going for you. Wife and I went last summer and it was an 8 hr wait in Norman tag office. Ridiculous amount of time, we left and came back later. I called about 6 different tag offices at the time. Things have really calmed down now. Cost over 65 was 0.

FYI if you have a V A card you don't have to get a real ID. They will work at airports, gov't buildings, etc.My birthday is in a few days so my drivers license expires the end of this month so I'm going to go ahead and get one of them Real I.D.'s.
I read about all kinds of things to take so I gathered up a bunch of stuff today that should be more than ample to prove to them that I am in fact me and then I gave the tag agency a call and told them what I was bringing........I figured that she'd say, "you don't need to bring such and such" but she said, "that should be sufficient".
List;
Birth certificate.
DD214.
Deed to home.
Property tax bill.
A OG&E bill.
VA card.
Drivers license.
Conceal carry permit (which was actually listed as proof of i.d.).
Old dog eared (but legible) social security card.
Drivers licenses for old farts like me are free once a person hits 65, not sure about the Real I.D is or not but it makes no difference either way.........it's first come first serve and I plan on being there when the open tomorrow morning at 0830 hrs.
I'm not prone to taking a lot of guff that early in the morning (especially after telling her today what I planned on bringing) so I hope that it goes smooth.
Don't you have to get an OK DL with in 30 days of moving here?
Don't know if it makes any difference or not but I used LaNoy tag agency on SW 24th. Ave.
It used to be once you'd lived here for 60 days, you had to title your car here and get an OKDL. I think there may have been carve-outs for college students and military, but it really made no difference; I never saw that particular law enforced. Heck, they don't even do anything about the expired paper tags these days.

It's pretty common to see paper tags a year or more past expiration. The way my luck runs If I accidently left my driveway with a 1 day past due tag I'd get a SWAT raid stop on the highway just o make an example out of me.
Did the Real ID process at the tag agency on Jan. 4th and it came in today's mail (13 days) and it's good for eight years......arrived a little faster than I anticipated but that's a good thing.
Is the DL I have a fake? Why do I need a real ID?
