§ 47-1122. Temporary license - Fee

A. Whenever any nonresident owning any motor bus, truck, trucktractor, trailer or semitrailer, which has been registered under the

laws of another state and bears a current registration from such

state, brings such vehicle into this state, for the purpose of using

the vehicle for hire or other commercial purpose, for a temporary

period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, such person may,

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

immediately after entering this state, upon the filing of an

application therefor with Service Oklahoma, and the payment of a

license fee equal to one-eighth (1/8) of the annual license fee

required of such vehicle, register same for a period of thirty (30)

days in lieu of obtaining an annual registration and license

therefor; he may upon payment of one-fourth (1/4) of the annual

license fee register it for a period of sixty (60) days or for

ninety (90) days upon the payment of three-eighths (3/8) of the

annual license fee in lieu of obtaining annual registration and

license therefor. Upon failure of any person to obtain or renew

this temporary license when first available, the fee due for the

remaining portion of the year shall become due and must be paid.

B. It will not be necessary for such person to obtain an

Oklahoma certificate of title evidencing ownership of such vehicle,

if the applicant therefor has been issued a valid certificate of

title or ownership for such vehicle by his home state. Service

Oklahoma will issue a certificate of registration covering each

temporary license provided by the terms of this section.

C. Provided, however, that the provisions of this section for

temporary licenses shall not apply to the residents of any other

state when the laws of such other state do not provide temporary

licensing for approximately comparable license fees for vehicles

being used in such other state by residents of Oklahoma under the

same or substantially similar purposes, terms and conditions; and,

provided further that, irrespective of the amount of the temporary

license fees provided in this section, the amount of any temporary

license fee for a vehicle of a resident of any such state shall be

determined and fixed by Service Oklahoma in the amount, or the

approximate total amount, of any license fee and any other taxes,

including property and mileage taxes, required by the laws of such

other state to be paid by a resident of Oklahoma making the same use

of a similar vehicle in such state.
