subsection A of this section. Such Oklahoma resident or their spouse
who is stationed out of state due to an official assignment of the

Oklahoma resident or their spouse who is stationed out of state
presents valid documentation acceptable to the Oklahoma Tax Commission
evidencing that such inspection has been made by an out-of-state
authority acceptable to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
Any Oklahoma resident who is stationed out of state due to an official
assignment of the Armed Forces of the United States may authorize his
or her parents to register his or her vehicle or vehicles as provided
for in this subsection if the serviceman is not able to register the
vehicle at the appropriate time.
