How to Register a Car Bought in Another State

When driving home to Edmond after buying a car in another state, you may be wondering what happens next. Registration is an important part of making sure the car is legally allowed on the road, so it needs to be registered to the driver in OK within 30 days or purchase. Getting a registration and title requires a few documents and a trip to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. 

1. Ensure that the vehicle has a bill of sale with the purchase price clearly listed and locate a tag agent (Tag Agent Near Me).
2. Be sure to have the following items:
1. Bill of Sale (or declaration of purchase price)
2. A completed Application for Oklahoma Certificate of Title (Form 701-6) signed in front of a notary
3. Proof of OK minimum liability insurance
4. Three forms of government ID
5. The old title transferred over to you
6. An odometer disclosure statement (if the vehicle is 9 years old or less)
7. Lien documentation (if your vehicle is financed)

Notify the tag agent that you purchased the car out of state with the intent of titling and registering it at your address and the agent will perform a vehicle identification number (VIN) and/or odometer inspection. 

Taxes and Fees & Buying a Car Out of State

Local taxes of Dallas or Tulsa may differ from taxes in greater OK or out of state, but don’t worry about having to pay hundreds of extra dollars to register a new vehicle. If a car is bought out of state and registered for the first time in state, new vehicles can expect first time registration and title fees, and applicable fees for specific cases relating to the vehicle.
