Oklahoma License Plate Rules
As of 2019, Oklahoma links a license plate to the person rather than the vehicle (it used to be opposite). Therefore, you can transfer your plates from vehicle to vehicle as you buy and sell them.
When purchasing a new vehicle, you have only 30 days to register and get plates for it. After you buy it, you are allowed to drive it for five days without any license plates.
You can register your car or truck at the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) or with the local tag agent. All vehicle registrations must remain in the car or truck at all times, and they renew annually.
If you transfer your old license plates to a new car, you will receive a transfer credit and won't have to pay the full price for the registration and tag fees.
Oklahoma has an online system to process registration renewals, and it is called OkCARS:Convenient Auto-Renewal System. When using the system, you will need the VIN, your driver's license number, plate number, proof of insurance, and payment.
