All insurance companies are required to update your insurance policy with the Oklahoma Insurance Department. When your tags are renewed, the system verifies valid insurance is listed with the Oklahoma Insurance Department before we are able to renew your tag. If there is an issue, it is usually because your insurance complany (not your agent) did not enter your policy correctly. This can be over ridden with a Compliance Letter from your insurance agent.

Title Transfers
How much does it cost to transfer a title?
There are many variables in determining the cost of transferring a title. Some of the factors include the sales price, the NADA value of the vehicle, the date of purchase and the status of the tags. To get an accurate cost, you would need to provide us with this information so that we could determine the cost.
How long do I have to transfer the title into my name?
You have thirty days from the notary date on the title to transfer the title without a penalty.
What is the penalty for a transfer past the thirty days?
After thirty days from the notary date, penalty for vehicles is $1 per day for excise tax, $1 per day for the transfer and penalty against the sales tax. If the tags are expired, there could also be a penalty of $1 per day for the tag. So, in some situations, penalty can be more than $3 per day.
I sold my car. What do I need to do?
The first step is to provide the buyer with the title to the car. You will need to sign the title in front of a notary and have your signature notarized. After that, we recommend that you come into the Tag Agency and fill out a Notice of Transfer. It costs $10, but it notifies the state that you sold the vehicle and limits your personal liability with the vehicle. To fill complete a Notice of Transfer we will need the tag number or VIN along with the name and address of the purchaser.
