- Title 47
A. When, at the time of registration of any vehicle, payment is
made by check for fees and taxes and the check is not paid by the
bank on which drawn for any reason, after said check has been
presented for payment a second time, such certificate of
registration and other such instruments issued at the time of
registration of such vehicle shall be invalid. The licensed

Service Oklahoma for credit to the licensed operator's account.
Service Oklahoma may enter into a contract for the collection of
dishonored checks and canceled instruments. In all such cases, such
vehicles shall be subject to the license fees and penalties provided
in this act as though no attempt to register the vehicle had been
made and the licensed operator shall charge the person issuing the
check a fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for each check to cover
the costs of processing each returned check. An individual who
subsequently purchases any such vehicle shall not be required, as a
condition for registration of the vehicle, to pay any tax, fee or
penalty due resulting from the dishonored check.
A mortgagee who repossesses any such vehicle shall not be
required, as a condition for registration of said vehicle, to pay
the dishonored check penalties which had accrued as of the date of
such repossession.
B. Whenever payment is made by check for any Oklahoma driver
license and the check is not paid by the bank on which drawn for any
reason, after said check has been presented for payment a second
time, such driver license shall be invalid and all driving
privileges of the holder of the driver license shall be canceled.
The licensed operator shall transmit the dishonored check to Service
Oklahoma for credit to the licensed operator's account. Service
Oklahoma may enter into a contract for the collection of dishonored
checks. The licensed operator shall charge the person issuing the
check a fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for each check to cover
the cost of processing each returned check. The licensed operator
shall transmit a copy of all documents associated with the
application and issuance of the driver license and a copy of the
dishonored check to the Department of Public Safety.
