immediately after entering this state, upon the filing of an
application therefor with Service Oklahoma, and the payment of a
license fee equal to one-eighth (1/8) of the annual license fee
required of such vehicle, register same for a period of thirty (30)
days in lieu of obtaining an annual registration and license
therefor; he may upon payment of one-fourth (1/4) of the annual
license fee register it for a period of sixty (60) days or for
ninety (90) days upon the payment of three-eighths (3/8) of the
annual license fee in lieu of obtaining annual registration and
license therefor. Upon failure of any person to obtain or renew
this temporary license when first available, the fee due for the
remaining portion of the year shall become due and must be paid.
B. It will not be necessary for such person to obtain an
Oklahoma certificate of title evidencing ownership of such vehicle,
if the applicant therefor has been issued a valid certificate of
title or ownership for such vehicle by his home state. Service
Oklahoma will issue a certificate of registration covering each
temporary license provided by the terms of this section.
C. Provided, however, that the provisions of this section for
temporary licenses shall not apply to the residents of any other
state when the laws of such other state do not provide temporary
licensing for approximately comparable license fees for vehicles
being used in such other state by residents of Oklahoma under the
same or substantially similar purposes, terms and conditions; and,
provided further that, irrespective of the amount of the temporary
license fees provided in this section, the amount of any temporary
license fee for a vehicle of a resident of any such state shall be
determined and fixed by Service Oklahoma in the amount, or the
approximate total amount, of any license fee and any other taxes,
including property and mileage taxes, required by the laws of such
other state to be paid by a resident of Oklahoma making the same use
of a similar vehicle in such state.
