No.
Though 26 states require presenting one’s government-issued ID to a police officer upon request under threat of arrest, Oklahoma law does not require that.
The Supreme Court upheld stop-and-identify laws in its 2004 Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada ruling, in which the justices held that state statutes can require individuals to disclose their names during brief legal stops based on reasonable suspicion of a crime.
In Oklahoma, as well as 23 additional states without stop and identify laws, identification is only required of drivers in traffic stops; passengers in vehicles and people in public are not obligated to identify themselves.
Traffic stops require only vehicular violations, not criminal suspicion, though the former may give rise to the latter.
Oklahoma drivers may refuse field sobriety tests without incurring automatic criminal penalties, as such tests are not required under implied consent laws; chemical tests are.
