A.  Service Oklahoma upon canceling or denying the driver
license of a person or upon suspending or revoking the driving
privilege of a person shall require that the driver license of the
person be surrendered to Service Oklahoma.  When the statutory
requirements for reinstatement are met in accordance with Oklahoma
Statutes, the person shall apply for a new driver license from
Service Oklahoma; provided Service Oklahoma has determined that the

licensee is a person not prohibited from holding a driver license
under Section 6-103 of this title, and has successfully completed
the customary written, physical and driving tests, if such tests are
required.  Identification of the person shall be verified through
the driver license digital file of Service Oklahoma.
B.  Service Oklahoma, upon entering an order canceling or
denying a driver license or suspending or revoking the driving
privilege of a person, shall forward a copy of the order to the
licensee pursuant to the provisions of Section 2-116 of this title
and request the immediate return of the driver license to Service
Oklahoma.  Failure to comply with the order of Service Oklahoma
shall constitute a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, the person
shall be punished by a fine of not less than Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
nor more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).
C.  Any peace officer of this state may seize the license of any
person who, according to Service Oklahoma records, is under
suspension, cancellation, revocation or denial under the provisions
of this title.  The officer shall immediately forward the license to
Service Oklahoma.
D.  No person shall have a property interest in the physical
driver license issued pursuant to the laws of this state.  It shall
be the duty of every person whose driving privilege has been
suspended, canceled or revoked to immediately surrender his or her
driver license upon the request of any peace officer or
representative of Service Oklahoma.
