License Plates
Oklahoma offers several License Plate types, including Physically Disabled License Plates, Specialty Plates, Personalized Plates, and Tribal Plates. License Plates provide proof of registration, and can provide parking privileges, and more.
Standard Plates
Upon registering your vehicle, you will be issued a Standard License Plate and decal. You are required to have at least one (1) License Plate properly installed on your registered vehicle. To learn which vehicles require registration, click here to visit our Registration page.
In lieu of receiving a Standard License Plate, you may choose to order a Specialty Plate.
Did you know?
In Oklahoma, your License Plate is assigned to you, the person, not your vehicle. If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you keep your License Plate.

Note
If you are transferring a vehicle from another state, the vehicle must be registered within 30 days of moving to Oklahoma. Learn more about Out-of-State Transfers by clicking here.
