A.2 years
B.5 years
C.4 years
D.10 years
Explanation: 49 O.S. § 1 provides that Oklahoma notaries hold office for four (4) years. A notary may not perform acts after the commission expires without first renewing it with the Secretary of State.

B.Only legal residents of Oklahoma
C.Any U.S. resident regardless of where they live or work
D.Only residents of Oklahoma or a state that borders Oklahoma
Explanation: 49 O.S. § 1 allows an applicant who is a legal resident of Oklahoma, or who is employed within the state, to be commissioned. A qualifying non-resident must be employed in Oklahoma and meet all other requirements.

A.A felony conviction
B.A speeding ticket within the last year
C.Being self-employed
D.Living in a rural county
Explanation: Under 49 O.S. § 1, a felony conviction is grounds for removal from the office of notary public, and § 12 lets the Secretary of State deny, refuse to renew, or revoke a commission for a felony conviction. The application requires applicants to state they have never been convicted of a felony.
6Does Oklahoma require applicants to pass a written state notary examination before being commissioned?
A.Yes, a proctored state exam is mandatory for all applicants
B.Yes, but only for remote online notaries
C.Yes, an exam is required only for renewals
D.No, Oklahoma does not mandate a statewide written notary exam
Explanation: Oklahoma does not require a mandatory statewide notary examination. Commissioning is based on the application, qualifications, bond, oaths, and (effective January 1, 2026) a national criminal history record check—not on passing a test. Prospective notaries should still master notary law to perform their duties correctly.
7Effective January 1, 2026, what new screening requirement applies to Oklahoma notary applicants under Senate Bill 1028?
A.A mandatory 6-hour education course
B.A national criminal history record check (background check)
C.A passing score on a 50-question exam
D.An in-person interview with the Secretary of State
Explanation: Senate Bill 1028, effective January 1, 2026, requires new and renewing Oklahoma notary applicants to obtain a national criminal history record check. The same act raised the bond and the application/renewal/bond-filing fees.
8For applications filed on or after January 1, 2026, what is the surety bond amount required of an Oklahoma notary public?
A.$500
B.$10,000
C.$1,000
D.$25,000
Explanation: Senate Bill 1028 raised the Oklahoma notary bond from $1,000 to $10,000 for new and renewal applications filed on or after January 1, 2026. The bond protects the public and must run concurrently with the four-year commission.
9Whom does an Oklahoma notary surety bond primarily protect?
A.The notary, by covering the notary's own losses
B.The notary's employer only
C.The public, by providing a financial safeguard against the notary's misconduct or negligence
D.The Secretary of State's revolving fund
Explanation: A surety bond protects the public by providing a financial remedy if a notary's negligence or misconduct causes harm. The bond is not insurance for the notary—if the surety pays a claim, it may seek reimbursement from the notary. Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance is what protects the notary.
10Within how many days after a notary commission is issued must an Oklahoma notary file the bond, official seal impression, oaths, and signature with the Secretary of State?
A.15 days
B.60 days
C.30 days
D.90 days
Explanation: Under 49 O.S. § 2, a notary must file the oath of office, loyalty oath, official signature, an impression of the official seal, and the bond with the Secretary of State not more than sixty (60) days after the commission is issued. The notary may not perform any act until these are received and approved.
