The Chickasaw Nation and the state of Oklahoma signed a compact to address the sale of license plates.

Chickasaw tags will be sold at state agencies across the state. Tribal members will pay the same fees as other residents but will receive a rebate from the tribe for a portion of the fees.

"We are very pleased to work with the state to offer Chickasaw Nation license plates," Chickasaw Gov. Bill Anoatubby said in a press release. "These tags offer Chickasaw citizens a very visible way to demonstrate their pride in being Chickasaw, while keeping vehicle tag funding for schools, roads, state employee retirement, wildlife conservation and other state programs intact."
