Step-by-Step: Getting Documents Notarized in Oklahoma

Identify your notarial act type

Different documents require different notarial acts. An acknowledgment is the most common — you acknowledge you signed willingly. A jurat requires you to swear under oath that the document's contents are true. An oath or affirmation is used for affidavits. Understanding the type helps you prepare and ensures you bring the right document.

Find a notary near you

Oklahoma notaries can be found at many convenient locations:

• Banks and credit unions — often free for account holders
• UPS Store / FedEx Office — $10–$15 per signature, walk-in friendly
• Public libraries — sometimes free or low-cost
• Law offices — available for clients, often free with other services
• AAA offices — free for members
• Online notary search — use the Oklahoma Secretary of State's notary lookup at the link below

Prepare your document

Before your appointment: complete all parts of the document except your signature. Do not sign the document beforehand — you must sign in front of the notary. Make sure all text fields are filled in. If the document is multi-page, do not staple or bind it yet.

Bring valid photo ID

The notary must verify your identity. Bring a current, government-issued photo ID such as:
• Driver's license or state ID card
• U.S. passport or passport card
• Military ID
• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)

The name on your ID must match the name on the document. Expired IDs are generally not accepted.

Sign in front of the notary

Sign your document in the notary's presence. The notary will watch you sign, verify your willingness, and then apply their official seal and signature. For a jurat, you'll also swear or affirm that the document's contents are true.

Know the fees

Oklahoma law caps notary fees at $5 per notarial act. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is capped at $25. Notaries may charge additional travel fees if they come to you.

$5 per act; $25 for RON.

Consider Remote Online Notarization (RON)

Oklahoma permits Remote Online Notarization (RON) — you can get documents notarized via video call without leaving home. RON is capped at $25 per act. Platforms like Notarize, DocuSign Notary, or NotarizeME connect you with a commissioned Oklahoma notary online.

After notarization

Keep the notarized document in a safe place. Make photocopies for your records before submitting the original anywhere. If you need an apostille (to use the document internationally), contact the Oklahoma Secretary of State's office — there's usually a separate apostille fee.
