§ 47-1112. Application for registration - Information required False statements

A. Every owner of a vehicle possessing a certificate of title

shall, before using the same in this state, make an application for

the registration of such vehicle with a licensed operator. The

application shall contain such information as shall be required by

Service Oklahoma. Every owner, when making application for

registration, shall furnish the following information:

1. A full description of the vehicle including the make, model,

color, manufacturer's serial or other identification number, any

security interest upon the vehicle, an odometer reading of the

vehicle when applicable, and the insurance security verification to

the vehicle;

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

2. The correct name and address, the name of the city, county

and state in which the person in whose name the vehicle is to be

registered resides, the driver license number of the owner if the

owner has a driver license or the Federal Employers Identification

Number of the owner if such owner is not an individual, and such

other information as may be prescribed by Service Oklahoma; and

3.

a.

The name of the carrier of the owner's insurance

policy for such vehicle,

b.

The policy number of the owner's policy for such

vehicle, if available, or the name of the agent or

office where the existence of security may be

verified, if other than the carrier,

c.

The effective dates of the owner's policy for such

vehicle, and

d.

A statement of the existence of a nonuse affidavit if

filed by the vehicle owner pursuant to the provisions

of Section 7-607 of this title.

B. Any owner or lessee of a noncommercial vehicle possessing a

certificate of title may, at the time of initial application for

registration or application for renewal, inform Service Oklahoma

that the owner, lessee or someone who may be operating the vehicle

is deaf, hard-of-hearing, autistic or suffers from Apraxia or a

communication disorder. That information, if provided, shall be

available to law enforcement through Service Oklahoma's vehicle

registration system to assist law enforcement in identifying the

operator of the vehicle as possibly being deaf, hard-of-hearing,

autistic or suffering from Apraxia or a communication disorder. As

used in this section, "communication disorder" is defined as

impairment in the ability to receive, send, process and comprehend

concepts or verbal, nonverbal and graphic symbol systems.

C. In every case where a vehicle has been registered upon an

application containing any false statement of a fact required in

this section to be shown in an application for the registration

thereof, Service Oklahoma shall give written notice of at least five

(5) days to the owner of the vehicle, and shall require the owner to

appear before it for the purpose of showing cause why the

registration should not be canceled. Unless satisfactory

explanation is given by the owner concerning such false statement,

Service Oklahoma shall cancel the registration. The owner of the

vehicle shall then be required to immediately reregister the vehicle

and pay the required fees. The owner shall not be entitled to

refund or credit for the fees paid for registration of the motor

vehicle made under the application which contained any false

statement of fact.

D. Service Oklahoma shall insert in the application forms

appropriate notice to the applicant that any false statement of a

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

fact required to be shown in such application for registration

subjects the applicant to prosecution.
