Moving Out of State in Oklahoma
Permanent Moves
If you're leaving the Sooner State permanently, don't worry about canceling your registration or surrendering your license plates. Also, don't bother trying to obtain a refund on the unused portion of your registration, as the state does not offer such refunds.
However, be sure to notify your insurance carrier of your change of your address.
Temporary Moves
If you're moving out of the state on a temporary basis, you must notify the Department of Public Safety of your change of address within 10 days of the move.
To do so, either stop by a tag agent office, or send a letter containing the necessary information to:
- Oklahoma Department of Public Safety
- P.O. Box 11415
- Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0415
Failing to do this could result in your license being suspended.
Preparing for the Move
Be sure to visit our "New to Your State" section for an overview of driving-related tasks that should be tackled immediately after you settle into your new home.
Military Information
Military members and their dependents who will be temporarily living outside of Oklahoma should check out our Drivers in the Military section for important registration and license information regarding their special situation.
