1. General Title Information:
The State of Oklahoma requires titles to be issued to all over the road motor vehicles, travel trailers, commercial trailers, manufactured homes, boats and outboard motors (in excess of 10 horsepower). Noncommercial trailers, including utility trailers, boat trailers and farm trailers, are not required to be titled or registered in Oklahoma.
- Titles are required to be applied for within thirty (30) days of obtaining ownership.
- Titles may be applied for through the Motor Vehicle Division, or at any of the over three hundred (300) motor license agencies (tag agencies) located throughout the state.
Once all requirements for title issuance have been met and the transaction entered, title certificates are generated overnight at a central location and mailed out to the record owner (not the lienholder, if any) the following business day.
2. How do I transfer ownership of my vehicle?
When transferring ownership of a vehicle currently titled in Oklahoma, the following items are generally required:
- A properly assigned and notarized Oklahoma certificate of title.
- Verification of liability insurance (motor vehicles only). Verification form must be in compliance with Oklahoma requirements (Refer to Liability Insurance Verification).
- Lien release for any active liens. (If no release, the active lien will be carried forward and reflected on the transfer title issued.)
- Current registration, unless the title being transferred is a salvage or junk title.
- When transferring ownership of a motor vehicle nine (9) years old or newer, a completed odometer disclosure statement is required. This statement is generally incorporated into title certificate ownership assignments. A separate odometer disclosure statement form (Form 729) is available for downloading from the Forms Section of this site.
3. How do I apply for a Duplicate Certificate of Title?
To apply for a duplicate Oklahoma title, an Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title for Vehicle/Boat/Motor (Form 701-7) must be completed and submitted to the Motor Vehicle Division.
Specific instructions regarding the completion of the Form 701-7: The record owner(s) must sign the form and their signature(s) notarized by a Notary Public. If you have Power of Attorney to sign on the owner¹s behalf, the Actual Notarized Power of Attorney, or a Certified Copy of the Power of Attorney, must also be submitted.
As requested on the application, please list the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, or serial number of the boat or outboard motor. Please also include the current registration decal number.
Either current Oklahoma registration, or evidence of out of state residency, is required before a duplicate title may be issued. Out of state residency may be evidenced by an out of state registration for the vehicle/boat/motor, or a utility bill, rental agreement, or out of state driver license in the name of the record owner. If the Oklahoma registration is not current and out of state residency cannot be established, and delinquent Oklahoma registration fees and penalties will have to be remitted, along with an Oklahoma insurance verification form, in order for the duplicate title to be issued.
The fee for a duplicate vehicle title is $11.00, plus a $1.00 mailing fee ($12.00 total ). The fee for a duplicate boat or motor title is $2.25, plus a $1.00 mailing fee ($3.25 total ). Please note, if you are applying for a duplicate title for a boat and an outboard motor, two (2) duplicate title applications must be completed and two (2) title and mailing fees remitted.
Please make your remittance payable to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. For proper handling, please include this letter with your duplicate title application and remittance. If you have any questions concerning the above described procedure, please contact this office at (in state toll free) 1-800-522-8165, extension 13217, or (directly) (405) 521-3217.
