Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pass an exam to become a notary in Oklahoma?
No. Oklahoma does not require a written notary examination. You apply through the Secretary of State, pay the fees, file your oaths, seal impression, and $10,000 bond, and (as of January 1, 2026) complete a national criminal history background check. This practice test helps you master Title 49 so you can notarize correctly.
How long is an Oklahoma notary commission and how much does it cost?
An Oklahoma notary commission lasts four years. As of 2026, the new-application fee is $50 (renewal $45), the bond filing fee is $25, a national background check costs roughly $50, plus the cost of a $10,000 surety bond and a seal. You may not perform acts until the bond, seal impression, and oaths are approved by the Secretary of State.
What surety bond does Oklahoma require?
For applications filed on or after January 1, 2026, Senate Bill 1028 raised the required notary bond from $1,000 to $10,000. The bond runs for the same four-year term as the commission and must be filed with the Secretary of State within 60 days of the commission's issuance. The bond protects the public, not the notary.
How much can an Oklahoma notary charge per notarization?
Under 49 O.S. Section 5, the maximum fee is $5.00 per traditional notarial act. A remote online notarial act may be charged up to $25.00 under 49 O.S. Section 209. No fee may be charged to notarize an official absentee ballot affidavit.
Can Oklahoma notaries perform remote online notarizations?
Yes. The Oklahoma Remote Online Notary Act took effect January 1, 2020. A commissioned notary must register separately with the Secretary of State and receive written authorization, keep a tamper-evident electronic journal, create an audio-visual recording of each act, and retain those records for at least 10 years.
Is a notary journal required in Oklahoma?
For ordinary in-person paper notarizations, a journal is not legally required, though keeping one is strongly recommended for your protection. A tamper-evident electronic journal is mandatory for remote online notarizations, and special records apply to bank protests and absentee ballot affidavits.
