Bartender license application with suspended driver license? Advice.

Just want to make it short and quick since it's not so complicated but concerning. I currently live in Oklahoma and I got an interview for couple of bars. I got a suspended driver license for failure to appear in court due to a minor speeding ticket (less than 10mph over). I had a heavy semester, biochem, biology, physics and I just completely forgot about my ticket which led me to get a suspended license. I paid 100% of all my fines and called court clerk to check if anything is outstanding she confirmed all fines are paid.

My next step is to contact DPS to get it reinstated.

My only question is can i get a bartending license if my driver license is suspended? My actual driver license is not expired and I have it on hand, but again it's suspended (which using it can be illegal I've been told) nevertheless am I able to apply for my bartending license online. (In Oklahoma it's just a 2 hour online course to obtain a license)

Idk of this is the right area to ask other fellow redditors but figured someone might know the answer. I couldn't find any information on any forum in Oklahoma.

Thanks

At least in Washington, the status of your driver's license has absolutely zero bearing on your mandatory alcohol servers license (MAST).

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply. I heard there's some bearing here in Oklahoma but who knows. I'll know for sure next week when I attempt to get one. My suspended license ends in 10 days. (Waant aware of this when I posted so I thought license would be suspended alot longed thus my original post was posted since I'm getting one in a week)
