2022 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 47. Motor Vehicles
§47-1116v1. Registration periods.

A. Twelve registration periods shall be established for vehicles required to be registered on a staggered basis. The registration periods shall start on the first day of each calendar month and shall end on the last day of that month. Unless otherwise provided, all such vehicles where the date of execution of transfer of ownership occurs in this state at any time during a calendar month shall be subject to registration and payment of the fee for the registration period commencing the first day of the month of such date of execution of transfer.

B. 1. A person who registers more than one vehicle may have all of such vehicles initially registered at the same time or at separate times. Any person who obtains a vehicle may, upon registration, have the registration period adjusted to allow future registration of all such vehicles at the same period or at a different period.

2. Upon the payment of a five-dollar one-time convenience fee, any two or more noncommercial vehicles owned by the same person and previously registered in this state may be registered at the same time regardless of the month or months in which the vehicles were previously registered. The month in which the noncommercial vehicles are newly registered shall be the month in which the registration is renewed annually. If a noncommercial vehicle is registered pursuant to this subsection in the same calendar year in which it was previously registered, license and registration fees shall be prorated to account for the difference between the previous renewal month and the new renewal month and those fees shall be due at the time of registration pursuant to this subsection. Of the monies collected pursuant to the convenience fee created by this paragraph, Two Dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) shall be deposited to the credit of the Oklahoma Tax Commission Fund created pursuant to Section 221 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes and Two Dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) shall be retained by the motor license agent.

C. If a special or personalized license plate is issued pursuant to Sections 1135.1 through 1135.7 of this title, any registration fee required for such plate and the fee required pursuant to subsection A of Section 1132 of this title shall be remitted at the same time and subject to a single registration period. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall promulgate rules establishing a method for making required fee adjustments when a special or personalized license plate is obtained during a twelve-month period for which a registration fee has already been remitted pursuant to this subsection. The combination of fees in a single remittance shall not alter the apportionment otherwise provided for by law.
