A new law that re­duces the amount of time that Ok­la­homan dri­vers will be able to use tem­po­rary pa­per tags went into ef­fect Sept. 1. The statute re­quires ve­hi­cles that have been pur­chased via pri­vate sell­ers or deal­er­ships to be pre-reg­is­tered within two busi­ness days.
Dri­vers have ten days fol­low­ing the pur­chase date to get a metal li­cense plate with two pre-reg­is­tra­tion de­cals. Pur­chasers will still have two months to ob­tain the ti­tle, pay taxes and fully reg­is­ter the ve­hi­cle.
