Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-1113A

A. As used in this section:

1. “First vehicle” means the vehicle from which a license plate

is removed and transferred to a second vehicle;

2. “Second vehicle” means the vehicle to which a license plate

is transferred after removal from a first vehicle; and

3. “Vehicle” means a passenger vehicle and does not include

farm or commercial vehicles.

B. A person may retain the license plate of any vehicle

registered to such person for purposes of transferring such license

plate to a second vehicle registered to such person. The license

plate removed from the first vehicle may be transferred to a new or

used second vehicle. The procedure for transfer shall be as

follows:

1. If the license plate removed from the first vehicle is

transferred to a new motor vehicle, the owner shall obtain a

replacement license plate from Service Oklahoma or one of its

licensed operators within ten (10) days of removal of the license

plate and upon payment of the fee required for a replacement plate

and an additional Ten Dollars ($10.00). The replacement plate shall

bear an expiration date that corresponds to the expiration date on

the license plate removed from the first vehicle. The replacement

plate shall be affixed to the first vehicle immediately upon removal

of the existing license plate. The license plate removed from the

first vehicle shall be affixed to the second vehicle immediately.

Additionally, within two (2) business days of the date of the sale

or transfer of the motor vehicle, the parties must submit the

requisite documentation to Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator

identifying the motor vehicle subject to the sale or transfer,

purchaser information, and any associated license plate on the

vehicle, pursuant to the requirements of Section 1112.2 of this

title. For sales involving a dealer seller, the dealer must submit

the requisite documentation to Service Oklahoma or a licensed

operator within two (2) business days. Transfer of a license plate

to a new motor vehicle as authorized by this paragraph shall not

relieve the owner of payment for registration or license fees

applicable to such new motor vehicle as required by this title.

2. If the license plate removed from the first vehicle is

transferred to a second vehicle already displaying a license plate,

paragraph 1 of this subsection. The replacement plate shall be

affixed to the first vehicle and shall bear the expiration date of

from the second vehicle shall be removed and returned to Service

Oklahoma or one of its licensed operators. The license plate

removed from the first vehicle shall then be affixed to the second

vehicle. The removed plate from the first vehicle shall bear an

expiration date identical to the plate removed from the second

vehicle. Additionally, within two (2) business days of the date of

the sale or transfer of the motor vehicle, the parties must submit

the requisite documentation to Service Oklahoma or a licensed

operator identifying the motor vehicle subject to the sale or

transfer, purchaser information, and any associated license plate on

the vehicle, pursuant to the requirements of Section 1112.2 of this

title.
