Oklahoma Disabled Veteran License Plate and $5 Registration

A veteran rated 50 percent or more, or who received a VA automobile grant or lost the use of a limb or an eye, can register up to two vehicles with the disabled veteran plate for $5 a year in place of the ordinary registration fee. An unremarried surviving spouse, or a spouse receiving DIC, can keep one. Guides saying four vehicles describe a bill that died.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

OklahomaState

Title 47, section 1135.2, subsection B, paragraph 31 creates the disabled veterans licence plate. Who qualifies. A veteran with certification from VA or the Armed Forces of "a service-connected disability rating of fifty percent (50%) or more, regardless which agency pays the disability benefits", or who "has been awarded a vehicle by the United States government or receives a grant from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for the purchase of an automobile due to a service-connected disability rating or due to the loss of use of a limb or an eye". The second route needs no percentage. How many vehicles. "No more than two vehicles", each with a rated carrying capacity of one ton or less. Service Oklahoma's military page says the same: "Limited to two vehicles per veteran." House Bill 1598 of 2025 would have raised it to four. It passed the House 92 to 0, had its enacting clause stricken in the Senate transportation committee and was sent to Appropriations in April 2025, and never became law. At least one national guide says disabled veterans "can tag up to four vehicles"; they cannot. What it costs. The plate's fee is charged "in addition to all other registration fees provided by law, except the registration fees levied by Section 1132", which is the ordinary annual registration fee, and "the total expense of this license plate shall not exceed Five Dollars ($5.00)". Service Oklahoma's Form 751-J, revised February 2025, charges $5.00 plus a $1.50 insurance fee, and a $6.60 mail fee if mailed. The discounted rate cannot be renewed online. Surviving spouses. The unremarried surviving spouse of a disabled veteran, or a surviving spouse receiving dependency and indemnity compensation, may keep the plate on one vehicle. How to apply. Register with the Veterans Registry and ask the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs for the Reduced Licensing Charge Card, Form 599. Send Form 751-J with a copy of the card, insurance verification and the fee to Service Oklahoma; later renewals can be done at a tag agent. A veteran who also qualifies for a disability placard can have the plate with the wheelchair symbol.

At least one national guide says disabled veterans can tag up to four vehicles. The statute and Service Oklahoma both still say two.
