Okla. Admin. Code § 165:30-19-17

Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 165:30-19-17 - Temporary registration

New fleet vehicles, or vehicles being added to any existing fleet, must have some form of temporary registration prior to operation if permanent IRP credentials have not been issued. All forms of temporary registration are valid for the period shown and will be honored by all IRP jurisdictions when properly completed and validated.

(1) Temporary registration may be obtained directly from the IFTA/IRP Section, Transportation Division, Oklahoma Corporation Commission, P.O. Box 52948, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73152-2948 by filing a supplemental application with all required documents.

(2) Temporary registration or credentials may only be issued to new accounts after all required registration fees are paid.

(3) Self-issue temporary registrations are available only to established Oklahoma-based IRP registrants, and may be used for vehicle(s) added to the fleet, substitute license plates and weight increase applications to the registrant's account. Self-issued temporary registrations may not be used for renewal vehicles.

(A) Registrants with self-issue temporary authority are allowed to acquire temporary registration prior to the submission of a supplemental application. To be eligible to self-issue temporary registration, a registrant must:

(i) Have no delinquencies;

(ii) Be base plated in Oklahoma for the past two full registration years;

(iii) Be the motor carrier responsible for safety;

(iv) Be base plated in accordance with OAC 165:30-19-5 requirements; and,

(v) Have over one hundred (100) power units in the apportioned fleet.

(B) Properly completed temporary registrations allow for immediate temporary registration for vehicles added to the fleet, duplicate cab cards, substitute license plates, and weight increase applications. Upon issuance, a copy of the temporary registration should be placed in the vehicle. Within fifteen (15) days of issuance, a completed supplemental application with all required documentation must be submitted for processing.

(C) Misuse of the temporary registration or failure to maintain proper accountability may result in the Prorate Section's refusal to issue the registrant self-issue temporary registrations.

(4) The issuance of temporary registration creates a debt to the State of Oklahoma who is then indebted to the participating jurisdictions of the International Registration Plan. Registrants must pay registration fees for the remainder of the registration year for which a temporary registration is issued. Registration fees must be paid in full within thirty (30) days for the effective date of the temporary registration.

(A) Fees shall be calculated beginning with the effective date of the temporary registration, or the date determined by the Transportation Division, if earlier, and continue through the end of the registration year.

(B) In addition to collection actions, failure to pay the fees described in (A) above will cause the loss of apportioned registration privileges.

(C) The Transportation Division may withhold issuance of future temporary registration, to those registrants who have failed to timely file a registration application, or pay the registration fees associated with any vehicle, for which a temporary registration authorized by 47 O.S. § 1124.1 has been issued.

(D) The Transportation Division may revoke previously issued registration credentials and/or deny future registration privileges to registrants who use temporary registration issued under 47 O.S. § 1124.1 without paying registration fees.
