Moving to Oklahoma? Tag and title questions

What to bring, the VIN inspection, out-of-state purchases and your driver license.

Welcome to Oklahoma. Here's how to move your vehicle registration over, and what to know about your driver license. Our guide for people moving to Tulsa goes step by step.

What do I need to bring?

  • Your out-of-state title
  • Form 701-6, the application for an Oklahoma title (we can usually print it at the office, or get it from our forms page)
  • Your driver license
  • Proof of Oklahoma insurance
  • The vehicle itself, for the VIN inspection

Make copies before you come in; your original documents may not be returned.

Why do you need to see my vehicle?

Oklahoma requires a VIN inspection before it titles a vehicle with an out-of-state or tribal title. Someone checks that the vehicle identification number on the vehicle matches your paperwork. Licensed Operators like us do the inspection while you're here, and the State's fee is $4.

What if I bought the vehicle in another state?

Bring the title signed over to you, Form 701-6, your driver license, proof of Oklahoma insurance and the vehicle. If a dealership sold it to you, add the purchase agreement.

Do I have to get an Oklahoma driver license too?

Yes, new residents should switch to an Oklahoma license. If your current license is valid, or expired less than six months ago, you can usually transfer it without the written or driving test. The fee is $42.50 for a 4-year license or $81 for 8 years. For the transfer, plan on bringing your birth certificate or a valid passport and some proof of your address, and know your Social Security number. Call us at (918) 438-2198 before you come in and we'll tell you whether we can handle your license transfer here or you'll need a Service Oklahoma Licensing Office.

Can my new Oklahoma license be a REAL ID?

Yes. Bring two proofs of Oklahoma residency instead of one, plus the other REAL ID documents. See our REAL ID questions.
