But How Do I Get This Glorious Emblem of Awesomeness?
There are two main options, both about as easy as ordering a deep-fried butter stick at the state fair (because, let's be honest, it's Oklahoma):
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Head to Your Local Tag Agent: These friendly folks will be happy to help you navigate the thrilling world of custom plate applications. Think of them as your personal stylists for your car's backside.
- Do it Online (Because, Netflix and Chill): The Oklahoma Tax Commission website allows you to submit your application electronically. It's like online shopping, but for vanity instead of shoes (although, who are we to judge your shoe-buying habits?).
Here's the Nitty Gritty (Because We Know You Want the Details)
- Pick Your Plate Positivity: You get six glorious characters to play with. Letters and numbers only, folks, so keep it alphanumeric and avoid anything that would make your grandma clutch her pearls.
- Be Original, Dude: This might come as a shock, but someone probably already has "OKIE4LIFE" or "ILUV BBQ." Get creative and brainstorm something that speaks to your inner weirdness (we all have it).
- Don't Be a Slacker: It can take up to six weeks to get your masterpiece minted, so apply early. Don't be that guy stuck driving around with a paper tag that says "MY PLATE IS COMING." It's not a good look.
