Vehicle Registration
New & Used Vehicles
Starting Sept. 1, 2024, the Mason Treat Act will limit the amount of time temporary paper tags are on newly purchased vehicles, with the goal of improving road safety and compliance. Oklahoman's will pre-register their vehicle, and will have ten days from the date of sale to get a metal license plate and pre-registration decals affixed, and two months from the date of sale to fully register.
Note
To register a vehicle that was transferred from or purchased outside the state of Oklahoma, please visit our Out-of-State Transfers page.

What to Bring
A new vehicle is a vehicle that has never been owned by anyone other than the dealer. To register your new vehicle, you will need to bring the following documents to Service Oklahoma (N Classen) or Licensed Operator location:
Proof of Oklahoma insurance
Vehicle purchase agreement
Manufacturer Statement of Origin (MSO) received from the dealer
Valid driver license
Form 729 - Odometer Disclosure Statement
Only required for vehicles made in 2011 or newer with an odometer*
Note
Starting September 1, 2024, all vehicles purchased at a dealership or through private sale have two business days to pre-register with the state. Oklahomans will then have ten days from the date of sale to get a metal license plate with pre-registration decals on their vehicle. Oklahomans will still have two months from the date of sale to fully register their vehicle. Visit Ready, Set, Tag for more information.

At Your Visit
Your fees will be finalized. Once payment is made and your documents are processed, you will be given standard month and year decals to replace the pre-registration decals that were already affixed onto your metal license plate during the pre-registration process.
In the case of a lien, your title will be sent to your lienholder. If there is no lien, your title will be mailed to you within 2 business days as part of your registration.
Note
If you would like purchase a specialty plate, one will be ordered for you at your visit and mailed to you. Please allow up to 20 days for shipping and processing. Learn more about specialty plates by clicking here.
Taxes & Fees

Taxes owed can be estimated using the Sales & Excise Tax Calculator.
*The Sales & Excise Tax Calculator is based on NADA listed pricing. NADA listed pricing can change at any time, so the final tax price may vary. This estimate does not include other fees due at time of registration.
Communication Impairment Notice
To help law enforcement know if you have a communication impairment condition, such as hearing loss or autism, you may fill out form 760-A during your initial title or registration. An indicator will be placed on your vehicle ownership upon approval.
House Bill 2516 defines “communication disorder” as impairment in the ability to receive, send, process and comprehend concepts or verbal, non-verbal and graphic symbol systems
New Iconic Oklahoma Plate is Here!
Starting Sept. 1, 2024, Oklahoma’s standard issue license plate will have a new design. Unlike previous plate redesigns, Oklahomans will not automatically be reissued the newly designed plate. Anyone who would like the new Iconic Oklahoma Plate can pay a $4 plate replacement fee with their annual vehicle registration renewal or $9 outside of their annual renewal at a local licensed operator.
