The Oklahoma Tax Commission has implemented a priority print schedule in an effort to pre-empt any title shortages due to supply chain issues later this year.

Most titles are printing 8 to 12 weeks after the application for title is processed. By delaying printing of titles that are not needed immediately, they can ensure title stock is available for transactions which require titles, such as title transfers. The goal is to ensure that any title that is needed to conduct a transaction can be printed with the current statutory requirements.

Applications for title are being processed in real time and the information is being recorded in the OTC database. When titling a vehicle, taxpayers will immediately receive a Certificate of Registration. This document is already required to be in the vehicle to assert ownership. Hard copies of titles are only needed to transfer title to another entity or to register the vehicle out of state.
