be issued on a staggered system except for vintage decals.

Personalized special license plates shall not be transferred to

any other person but shall be removed from the vehicle upon transfer

of ownership and retained. The personalized special license plate

may then be used on another vehicle but only after such other

vehicle has been registered for the current year.

Personalized special license plates shall be renewed each year

by Service Oklahoma or a licensed operator, unless authorized by

Service Oklahoma to be renewed for a period greater than one (1)

year. Service Oklahoma shall notify by mail all persons issued

special license plates. Service Oklahoma shall send the

notifications to the electronic mail address provided by the person.
