Wife and I retired and started to travel. Since we stayed long term in both Colorado and Oregon, we established residence there. When we returned to Oklahoma in the Summer of 2018, we had to take our two vehicles and our 38 1/2-foot fifth wheel to the tag agency for the VIN inspection. Thankfully, there was a good sized parking lot across the street from the tag agency, so it wasn't that big of a deal to get the vehicles registered again in Oklahoma.

The Ford F450 was definitely 10 years old and the fifth wheel was 8 years old.

So, yeah...

...one has to have their vehicle there. But, other than the VIN inspection, it was all easy to do. No mechanical inspections are required in Oklahoma.

Did this for my son recently, you don't have to have the vehicle here, but you must have the VIN inspected where you are. There is a form for it, they will hold your paper until the inspection is completed.

The bigger issue will be driving the OK plated Vehicle in CA while living or working their. CHP is hell on wheels on that.

There were several big court cases over that. One was a school teacher who lived in Oregon and drove to work in Yreka, California. She was toped and cited. Fought it all the way to the California supreme court and lost. In the end she had a dual plated vehicle.

I got cited for the same thing when I moved to California to work. I was at a rental agency looking for a place to rent. CHP saw me stopped me and cited me for not transferring. My mistake, because I had went out right away and got a California drivers license-couldn't cash a check with out of state id and bank cards didn't exist yet.
