Oklahoma: Do you need a front license plate?
Rear plate only
Oklahoma requires a license plate only on the rear of a passenger car.
Service Oklahoma's rule says plates must be firmly attached to the rear of the vehicle. Some heavy and interstate trucks use the front instead. Owners of physically disabled plates can choose one rear plate or plates for both front and back.
What the law says
Vehicle license plates shall be firmly affixed to the rear of the vehicle, provided however, trucks registered under the International Registration Plan shall have the plates firmly attached to the front.
