  • Every owner of a vehicle possessing a certificate of title shall, before using the same in this state, make an application for the registration of such vehicle with a motor license agent.  The application shall contain such information as shall be required by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.  Every owner, when making application for registration, shall furnish the following information:

    1.  A full description of the vehicle including the manufacturer's serial or other identification number, any security interest upon the vehicle, an odometer reading of the vehicle when applicable, and the insurance security verification to the vehicle;

    2.  The correct name and address, the name of the city, county and state in which the person in whose name the vehicle is to be registered resides, the driver license number of the owner if the owner has a driver license or the Federal Employers Identification Number of the owner if such owner is not an individual, and such other information as may be prescribed by the Commission; and

    3.a.The name of the carrier of the owner's insurance policy for such vehicle,

    b.The policy number of the owner's policy for such vehicle, if available, or the name of the agent or office where the existence of security may be verified, if other than the carrier,

    c.The effective dates of the owner's policy for such vehicle, and

    d.A statement of the existence of a nonuse affidavit if filed by the vehicle owner pursuant to the provisions of Section 7-607 of this title.

    In every case where a vehicle has been registered upon an application containing any false statement of a fact required in this section to be shown in an application for the registration thereof, the Commission shall give written notice of at least five (5) days to the owner of the vehicle, and shall require the owner to appear before it for the purpose of showing cause why the registration should not be canceled.  Unless satisfactory explanation is given by the owner concerning such false statement, the Commission shall cancel the registration.  The owner of the vehicle shall then be required to immediately reregister the vehicle and pay the required fees.  The owner shall not be entitled to refund or credit for the fees paid for registration of the motor vehicle made under the application which contained any false statement of fact.

    The Commission shall insert in the application forms appropriate notice to the applicant that any false statement of a fact required to be shown in such application for registration subjects the applicant to prosecution.
