Okla. Stat. tit. 29, § 29-2-138

"Resident" is any individual who has an established bona fide or

actual residence in Oklahoma for a period of not less than sixty

(60) consecutive days immediately preceding the date the application

for a license, permit, stamp, or any other issue of the Department

is submitted. The burden of establishing proof of residency shall

be on the person claiming residency status. A person holding a

valid driver license or permit to operate a motor vehicle shall be

deemed to be a resident of the state issuing the license or permit.

For a valid Oklahoma driver license to be used as the sole source of

proof of residency, it shall have been issued not less than sixty

(60) days prior to submission of the application. If a person does

not hold a valid driver license, the Department may consider other

reliable documentation for establishing proof of residency

including, but not limited to, property tax receipts, resident

income tax returns, voter registration, motor vehicle or vessel

registrations, and other public records documenting residence.

Residency status of children under eighteen (18) years of age is

presumed to be that of the custodial parent, including a custodial

parent when there is a joint custody order and the physical custody

of the child is shared by both parents, or legal guardian unless

otherwise documented. Ownership or possession of real property in

the state by a person residing outside the state shall not qualify

the person as a resident. A person shall not be entitled to claim

multiple states of residence, except as follows:

1. A person who is not otherwise a resident of the state and is

a member of the Armed Forces of the United States and is on active

duty and permanently assigned to a military installation located in

the state shall be eligible to qualify as a resident if the person

presents with the license application a certificate of assignment in

the state from a commanding officer or designated representative. A

spouse or dependent of the person who is not otherwise a resident of

the state, is living within the same household and is similarly

certified by a commanding officer, shall also be eligible to qualify

as a resident;

2. The residency of a person shall not terminate upon entering

the Armed Forces of the United States. A member of the Armed Forces

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 29. Game and Fish Page 14

of the United States on active duty, and any dependents of the

member, is presumed to retain residency status in the state for

purposes of purchasing any annual license issued by the Department

of Wildlife Conservation as long as the member is on active duty as

verified by valid military documentation; and

3. The residency status of any person, excluding a member of

the Armed Forces of the United States while on active duty as

verified by valid military documentation and any dependents of the

member, shall terminate if the person obtains any resident hunting,

fishing, trapping license or permit or valid driver license issued

by another state.
