My wife and I have one each!

Our regular licenses were to expire at the end of November. So we called and made an appointment at a tag agency around the corner from the round barn in Arcadia, OK on Rt. 66 about 12 miles from our house.



We walked in, and there was no one else in line for a license. We brought our passports, a utility bill with our name and address on it, and a voter ID card. Had the photo taken, and the clerk types away for a while. She printed out a B&W 8.5x11 piece of paper with as a temporary license to use as they mail the new license to us. It arrived a couple of weeks later. Since we are both officially geezers and over age 65, the license is free, and good for the next 10 years.

Fairly painless procedure. The local Oklahoma City tag agents are overwhelmed with appointments, and busy. The rural tag agencies are just operating like normal.

Oklahoma has a private enterprise system of tag agencies. We get driver's licenses and auto tags and titles at them, and no dealing with the DMV. Most of the agencies understand competition, and have nice offices, and competent, helpful and cheery employees, the opposite of almost every state agency employee with a surely indifferent attitude.
