If your Driver's License from the State of Oklahoma is clean and does not have any types of "holds" (i.e. suspended or revoked ), then the State of Alabama will most likely issue you a Driver's License. If Oklahoma has taken or has pending sometype of disciplinary action against your D/L, then Alabama will usually not willing issue a new D/L until the previous state reinstates your driving privileges. The State of Alabama is required to give you a "due process" hearing prior to denying a person D/L. Code of Alabama, Sec. 32-6-7(4)... Department of Public Safety.... will no issue a driver's license ... to "an habitual abuser of alcohol or drugs".... You do need to contact an Attorney for help.
Without more information, it is difficult to give an exact response. The short answer is the state of Alabama will not issue a driver license or renew a driver license to any person that is currently subject to a suspension or revocation order issued by another state. See, Code of Alabama, 1975, section 32-6-7. If your driver license or privilege to operate is currently under a suspension or revocation order in the state of Oklahoma, you must first clear the state of Oklahoma. Once the state of Oklahoma issues a clearance order, then the state of Alabama will process your application for license.
Additionally, current Department procedure holds that any applicant that has three DUI/DWI convictions in the past five years or four convictions in the past ten years will required to undergo an Interview and Investigation (or 'I&I'). See, Code of Alabama, 1975, section 32-6-7(4).
Your best course of action is to retain the services of an attorney that is completely familiar with Alabama driver license law to assist you.
