You also can call the Department of Education at (405) 521-3331, and leave your name and address to receive an application. Complete the application and mail it to the address on the application with a personal check for $37, payable to the Oklahoma Tax Commission (the cost of each tag is $35 plus a $2 mailing fee charged by the Oklahoma Tax Commission).Q. Will the Education tag replace my existing tag?

A. Your regular plate must be currently registered at all times. You can use your Education tag on the rear of your vehicle as your official tag, or you can display it on the front of your vehicle. Q. How long is the Education tag valid?

A. If you choose to use the Education tag as your official license plate, it's renewable for $35 plus a $1 mailing fee, in addition to the price of your regular car tag. Of the cost of the Education tag, $23 will continue to be earmarked for educational programs. If you choose not to renew your Education tag, you can still display it on the front of your vehicle. However, if you don't renew your tag, your number could be reassigned to someone else, and you would have to contact the Special Plates Section of the Oklahoma Tax Commission if you ever want to renew the tag for official use. Q. Why did the price of the Education Tag increase $10?

A. House Bill 1994 enacted during the 2004 Legislative Session increased the price for many special tags to cover the cost of administration of the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act
