This Oklahoma auto motor vehicle bill of sale document details the buyer, seller, and the vehicle in question. It is important to note that, unlike several other states, Oklahoma does not mandate the presentation of a bill of sale for vehicle registration; however, it may still be required for this purpose in certain instances.
Type of Sale
The Registration Process
When registering a vehicle in Oklahoma, it’s important to note that as of June 2019, a license plate no longer “follows” a car in a transaction. The new motor vehicle owner must apply for vehicle title and registration within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of purchase or acquisition.
The Odometer Disclosure Statement
The Odometer Disclosure Statement (Form 729) form is an official mileage disclosure and must be filled out accurately. Failure to disclose the vehicle’s mileage at the time of sale may result in criminal penalties. However, this form may not be necessary if the car being sold is at least ten years old.
