Oklahoma Temp Tag Law Change (SB2035) “The Mason Treat Act”
goes into effect September 1, 2024.
Dealer Sale when purchaser has a metal plate to transfer to vehicle:
If the customer has an existing metal plate on the trade-in vehicle → the dealer will not provide a paper 10 day temporary tag. The dealer will physically remove the plate from the trade in and place it on the newly purchased vehicle. The dealer will then pre-register the plate by entering the purchase, plate number, and owner details (within two business days). A Licensed Operator (Service Oklahoma Tag Agent) will be assigned by Service Oklahoma to then complete the pre-registration of that metal plate and issue decals to the customer for that plate that conveys temporary status. The customer will attach the temporary decals to the transferred plate. The customer has two months from the sold-on date to register the vehicle.
Dealer Sale when the purchaser does not have a trade-in vehicle:
If the customer does not have a trade-in vehicle. The dealer will provide a Temporary Tag (valid for 10 days). The dealer will enter the plate serial number, purchase and owner details (within two business days). Service Oklahoma will then assign a Licensed Operator (Service Oklahoma Tag Agent) to complete the pre-registration by issuing a metal plate with decals conveying temporary status. The customer will attach the metal plate to the vehicle. The customer has two months from sold on date to register the vehicle.
The 10 DAY Paper Tag will have to be purchased through an approved registered vendor. These vendors will be registered through the OUMVD&MHC (Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission) and Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission. You may not purchase or print paper tags through a vendor not approved and registered by the commissions. Check with the commissions for registered vendors, your previous vendor may not be registered.
When preregistering temp tags and temporary metal plates: Your vendor should have options to pre-register the tag through their software which uploads daily to Service Oklahoma, or you can pre-register the temp tag or plate through okcars.com both within two business days of the sale.
You will still record the temp tag or plate number on the bill of sale for every transaction.
In the event you can not pre-register without assistance, please visit your Service Oklahoma Licensed Operator ( Tag Agent) and they can assist you with the online pre-registration process.

Governor Stitt signed Senate Bill 2035 , The Mason Treat Act on April 30, 2024 with the goal to improve road safety for drivers and law enforcement by changing the temporary tag process for Oklahomans. This does change the process of automobile sales for all dealers. There are several entities working with OIADA in this process including the Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, the Oklahoma Automobile Dealers Association, The Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler & Manufactured Housing Commission, and Service Oklahoma.
We are working together to prepare comprehensive education and information to share with our members very soon. Service Oklahoma is also preparing a public service announcement to educate the public on these changes.
If you are not a member of the OIADA, please join promptly by visiting our website and submitting an application at www.okiada.com/membership or call our office for an application at 405-232-2947 so we can keep you apprised on any new developments, education, and resources for the changes and vendors for the modified temporary tag and upload of the log information.
OIADA will communicate regularly with our members throughout the next days leading up to September 1st on this change and process. Please have a current email address on file with OIADA. The following emails will not be sent out in mass as demonstrated with this email.
There are specific details of the implementation still being determined.
Here is a brief description of the changes and how your dealership will be impacted:
•Customers who purchase an automobile from a dealer and the customer’s trade-in vehicle have an existing metal license plate at the time of purchase, that metal license plate will be placed on their automobile purchased before leaving the dealership. They will not be issued a paper temporary tag.
•Customers who purchase an automobile from a dealer that DOES NOT have a metal license plate at the time of purchase, will receive a temporary tag from the dealer that is valid for TEN DAYS. The customer will still have 2 months to register their vehicle.
•After the sales transaction is completed, the dealer will have two business days to upload the new owner information and the temporary tag number or the existing metal tag number to Service Oklahoma. This will enable the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to track the owner of the vehicle.
•The two commissions are in the process of preparing the scope of the work/requirements for the temporary tag vendors. Service Oklahoma is creating an API for the data submission. We will share the additional information and education with members once it is available.
