Is this notary really commissioned?

As of July 2026, Oklahoma law caps the fee a notary can charge for a standard notarial act at $5 per notarial act (no fee permitted for notarizing an absentee ballot). A notary who charges more than the legal maximum for a standard act is breaking the law — you're entitled to ask what they charge before they begin.
What to expect
- Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID — the notary can't proceed without one.
- Your notary is required to record the transaction in a journal — expect to sign it and provide some basic details.
- Every document is marked with the notary's official stamp or seal, confirming the notarization is complete.
