Okla. Stat. tit. 47, § 47-1137.3v1: Registration and licensing of new motor vehicle,
Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 47
trailer or commercial trailer - Temporary license plate - Unlawful
acts and penalties.
The purchaser of every new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or
commercial trailer shall register or license the same within thirty
two (2) months from the date of purchase. It shall be the
responsibility of the selling dealer to place a temporary license
plate, in size similar to the permanent Oklahoma license plate but
of a weatherproof plastic-impregnated substance approved by the
Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, upon a new motor vehicle,
travel trailer, or commercial trailer when a transaction is
completed for the sale of the vehicle or trailer. Except for cab
and chassis trucks, the temporary license plate under this section
shall be placed at the location provided for the permanent motor
vehicle license plate. The purchaser of a new cab and chassis truck
may place the temporary license plate under this section in the rear
window. The temporary license plate shall show the dealer’s license
number which is issued to him or her each year by Service Oklahoma,
the date the new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or commercial
trailer was purchased, and the company name of the selling dealer.
The Commission is hereby directed to develop a temporary license
plate design to incorporate these requirements in a manner that will
permit law enforcement personnel to readily identify the dealer
license number and date of the vehicle purchase. The Commission is
further authorized to develop additional requirements and parameters
designed to discourage or prevent illegal duplication and use of the
temporary license plate. On or before two (2) months from the date
of purchase of a new motor vehicle, travel trailer, or commercial
trailer, the temporary license plate shall be removed and replaced
with a permanent, current Oklahoma license plate. Use of the
temporary license plate by a licensed dealer for other than the
purpose of normally doing business shall constitute grounds for
revocation of the dealer’s license.
It shall be unlawful for any licensed dealer of new motor
vehicles, travel trailers, or commercial trailers to procure the
registration and licensing of any new motor vehicle, travel trailer,
or commercial trailer sold by such licensed dealer or to act as the
agent for such purchaser in the procurement of the registration and
licensing. The license of any licensed dealer of new motor
vehicles, travel trailers, or commercial trailers violating the
provisions of this section shall be revoked.
