About this plate
THE SCISSORTAIL BASE, MANDATORY WHERE ITS SUCCESSOR IS OPTIONAL. This is the series that carries Oklahoma's statutory-date evidence, and it also carries the reissue MACHINERY: a dedicated fee, two named appropriations, a paid number-reservation window and an express instruction that registrants "shall replace any previously issued Oklahoma general issue license plate". Everything the 2024 base did NOT do.
Region code notes
county coding had already been discontinued with the 2009 base; the county appeared on the month revalidation decal during this series' life.
How numbers are issued
A reversed 123-ABC arrangement is reported as occurring occasionally and is NOT modelled, because no primary establishes when or why.
