Out-of-State License, In-State Plates? You Betcha!
The good news, my friend, is that you can absolutely register your car in Oklahoma while you're still rocking your driver's license from back home. Yes, you read that right! Now, you will need to get yourself an Oklahoma license eventually (within 30 days of becoming a resident), but that doesn't hold you up from getting your car all legal and road-worthy in the meantime.
Here's what you'll need to lasso yourself:
- Your trusty out-of-state title (or registration). This is your proof of ownership, like a six-shooter is to a cowboy.
- Proof of Oklahoma insurance. Can't ride a horse without a saddle, and you can't drive a car without insurance, partner.
- A valid ID (your out-of-state license will do just fine). gotta show them who you are!
- The appropriate fees (cash, check, or credit card usually work). This is how Oklahoma pays for all those road signs that point you in the right direction.
