Depends on state law.
In the state of Alabama if have not been granted tax exempt status by
the state legislature, you do not have it.
There is a published list on who has been granted tax exempt
status. But it must go before the legislature and voted on to be valid.
When I lived in the state of Wisconsin, it was by category. If you
fell into a category you had it by being a member of that
category. Apply for a receive a tax number from the state and then
fill in the paperwork at the business you bought from.
Each state has different laws on how it is done.
