The dealer will handle pre-registration. All the customer has to do is affix the metal plate with the pre-registration decals onto their newly-purchased vehicle within ten days of the sale.
To go into more detail:
The dealer will have two business days from the date of sale to submit pre-registration information to Service Oklahoma. The dealer selects the licensed operator that will process the information.
The customer will then receive an email confirming that the dealer submitted the pre-registration.
Next, the selected licensed operator will mail a metal license plate with two pre-registration decals attached, to the customer.
All the customer has to do is affix the metal license plate onto their vehicle within ten days of the purchase date, replacing the temporary paper tag.
If the customer chooses to transfer their current metal license plate to their newly purchased vehicle, the licensed operator will only send the pre-registration decals. The customer will then attach the decals onto their existing metal license plate. This must be done within ten days of buying the car.
