Once the law takes effect on September 1, 2024, failure to affix a metal plate and pre-registration decals within ten days of the vehicle purchase may result in citations, fines, and/or penalties at the discretion of law enforcement.
Vehicles purchased in Oklahoma prior to September 1, 2024 do not have to be pre-registered and their temporary paper tags will remain valid for two months rather than ten days. The buyers of those vehicles must still complete full registration within two months of purchase.
