Oklahoma Bar Reciprocity
Oklahoma Rule Two governs Admission on Motion / Reciprocity. Applicants must have engaged in the actual and continuous practice of law under the discipline of a reciprocal jurisdiction for three of the past five years. Practice in a non-reciprocal jurisdiction does not count. See the Board FAQ reciprocal list.
Reciprocity
Oklahoma publishes a reciprocal list and applies mirror rules/fees from the home jurisdiction.
| Attorneys from these jurisdictions may seek Admission on Motion in Oklahoma (published reciprocal list) | |
| Attorneys from these jurisdictions are not on Oklahoma’s published reciprocal list |
Additional Requirements
Law Degree. ABA-required J.D.
Practice. Actual/continuous practice for three of the past five years under reciprocal-state discipline (multi-state OK if reciprocal).
MPRE. If the home jurisdiction would require an MPRE of an Oklahoma lawyer seeking AOM there, the applicant must meet that score/time; Oklahoma’s baseline score is commonly 80 with no time limit when the mirror rule does not impose a stricter one.
Admission. In-person Supreme Court of Oklahoma admission.
Oklahoma Application Procedure
Apply through the Board of Bar Examiners Admission on Motion page. Prefer the current Rule Two text over older Certificate of Practice language that may still say “five of seven.”
