With changes to the vehicle registration process coming into effect in Oklahoma in just a few days, Service Oklahoma is working to be prepared for the new law to take effect.

The Mason Treat Act, named after the son of Oklahoma Senate Vice President Greg Treat who was involved in an accident and had to be hospitalized, goes into effect on September 1.

Mason was pulled over in January after the paper tag on his then-newly purchased vehicle expired and was not replaced before the 60-day deadline. After he was pulled over, another driver crashed into Mason’s vehicle, injuring him and the Canadian County officer who pulled him over.

Under the new law, drivers who purchase a vehicle can now pre-register it and receive a vehicle registration plate the same day they get behind the wheel.

News 9 spoke with Jay Doyle, CEO of Service Oklahoma, who said Oklahoma drivers now actually have two options.

“The person purchasing the vehicle can go online and pre-register with us at Service Oklahoma,” Doyle said. “You have the option to print out a paper plate that you can put on your car for a very short period of time until we mail you the permanent metal plate. So you can get a permanent metal plate within 10 days. But if you want it faster or you’re not tech savvy, you can come in person… You’ll get a plate right away that you can put on the back of your car.”

Doyle said Service Oklahoma has launched a new website to help the many Oklahomans who will use their services. The website can be found here.

“There’s also a checklist included there, so if you’re considering purchasing a vehicle, it’ll tell you what that means for you as an individual, whether you’re buying the car from a dealer or a private individual, and whether you’re trading it in or not,” Doyle said.

Doyle said the new law only applies to vehicles purchased after Sept. 1, so for any vehicles purchased before that date, drivers will still have to pay for license plates and vehicle registration, as well as the relevant taxes and fees.
