Why exactly did Oklahoma pull the DL equipment out of all 300 tag agencies in the state in November 2022, and move all DL production to Indiana?
In November 2022, under the aegis of Service Oklahoma, the state of Oklahoma removed the DL equipment from all 300 tag agencies in the state, both for Real ID and conventional ID, and transferred all production of driver's licenses and State ID's to Indiana. So, while up to this point in time, Oklahomans had been able to conveniently pick up their driver's licenses and ID's anytime they wished, now, they have to wait a month or more to get them in the mail from Indiana.
Now, I think this had something to do with Real ID production, as mandated by the federal government, since, there were concerns that "Joe's tag agency" might not be able to handle Real ID production security very well. But, there is a large "Department of Public Safety" government office in a secure location in Oklahoma City, and staffed with government workers, which had been producing driver's licenses and ID's, and the DL equipment was pulled out of this DPS station, as well.
So, why exactly did the state of Oklahoma do this? Is it saving the state money? Is it a more "secure" arrangement? Does Governor Kevin Stitt have a brother in law in Indiana who owns a DL production factory, and he needed some more business? Any thoughts, at all?
