- How long it's valid
- Rule 710:65-7-8: for regular purchases certified as all-for-resale, subsequent purchases may be made without further certification until the expiration date of the purchaser's permit. For continued sales the vendor must have a permit/card/letter on file for each renewal interval (deemed three years if none set by statute). Documentation must be in the vendor's possession within 90 days of the sale.
- Seller's permit
- Sales Tax Permit — $20. 68 O.S. § 1364: $20 for a sales tax permit, secured every three years; $10 for each additional place of business (each good for three years). OTC Packet A: registration application and fee must be received before issuance; bonds may be required for retail and wholesale sales tax permits ('License fee due').Register with Oklahoma Tax Commission →Renewal: Initial permit is probationary for six months, then automatically renews for 30 months if taxes are reported and remitted timely; thereafter renewed every three years upon receipt of the applicable fee (OTC Packet A; 68 O.S. § 1364(B)).
- Buyer registered in another state?
- Conditional — OAC 710:65-13-200 requires an Oklahoma permit number only from Oklahoma residents buying in Oklahoma, and accepts the MTC and Streamlined certificates, which let a buyer not required to register in Oklahoma use its home-state ID.

- OAC 710:65-7-8 (reprinted in OTC Publication D, rev. Dec. 2025): for sales for resale, properly completed documentation is (1) a copy of the purchaser's sales tax permit, or if unavailable the purchaser's name, address, sales tax permit number and expiration date (verified by calling Taxpayer Assistance or using the OTC permit list if not previously verified), (2) a statement that the articles are purchased for resale, and (3) the purchaser's signature. Rule 710:65-7-6(c): the vendor must keep a record of 'the purchaser's resale number issued by the Commission'; failing to do so creates a presumption the sale was not for resale. Good faith requires strict compliance. Publication D includes the MTC Uniform Sales and Use Tax Certificate as an approved document (MTC note: allowed in lieu of a copy of the purchaser's permit). Oklahoma is a full SST member; the OTC pages opened do not separately discuss the SST certificate.
