What license does a mobile welder need in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma requires welders to pass a weld test exam administered by a qualified Weld Test Facility to become licensed. The welder must carry a current certification card while performing weldments in Oklahoma. The annual certification fee is $25.
When does an Oklahoma welder's certification need renewing?
Oklahoma welding certification cards must be renewed by the last day of the welder's birth month each year. A late renewal costs $35 if the certification has been expired more than 1 day but less than 365 days. If it has been expired more than one year, the welder must retest.
Do welders on pressure piping need extra qualification?
For new construction and repair of welded downstream piping operated above 15 psi, the welder and welding procedures must meet Oklahoma certification requirements. Oklahoma welders must also keep a Welder's Continuity Log showing weldments at least every 6 months, as required by ASME, API, or AWS codes.
What to do next
- Ask the pro for the Oklahoma welder certification card and confirm it has not expired.
- Verify the welder's license with the Oklahoma Department of Labor Welder Licensing Program.
- Ask whether the quote includes the trip charge, hourly rate ($85 to $125 typical), or a minimum service charge.
- Request proof of insurance before work starts, and for pressure piping ask for the Welder's Continuity Log.
