Oklahoma video notary vs mobile: remote online notarization has been legal since January 1, 2020; the notary stays in Oklahoma; an in-person act is capped at $5 and a remote act at $25; and a commission renewal does not renew the remote authorization

You have a document that needs to be notarized. A video notary is remote online notarization (RON). You stay put. A notary joins on a live video call. A mobile notary is a person who drives to you. A walk-in is a bank or UPS counter. An in-state commission is a notary license from Oklahoma. Form 1583 is the Postal Service form you sign so a mailbox store can receive your mail. Oklahoma’s video job has been live since January 1, 2020. The act is SB 915, 2019, chapter 338, the Remote Online Notary Act. The notary already holds an Oklahoma commission, then gets written remote authorization from the Secretary of State. That authorization ends when the commission ends. Renewing the commission does not renew it. During the session the notary must be physically in Oklahoma. You may be in Oklahoma, in another state, or outside the United States if the document meets the statute. An in-person notarial act is capped at $5. A remote online notarial act is capped at $25. If those two rules conflict, the remote chapter controls.

This page is a notary scorecard. It is not a mailbox directory. Form 1583 is the Postal Service form you sign so a mailbox store can receive your mail. It appears here because mailbox signup is a common reason an Oklahoma owner needs a notary. The form is the use-case. The mailbox store is someone else’s product.

This page is not legal advice. An in-state commission is a notary license from Oklahoma. An Oklahoma-commissioned notary may perform remote online notarization, which is an electronic session, after registering with the Secretary of State under 49 O.S. § 204 and receiving written authorization. The notary must be physically located in Oklahoma. The signer may be in Oklahoma, elsewhere in the United States, or outside the United States if the record meets 49 O.S. § 205. Renewing the commission does not renew that authorization. 49 O.S. § 5 caps an ordinary notarial act at $5. 49 O.S. § 209 caps a remote online notarial act at $25. 49 O.S. § 213 says the remote chapter controls a conflict. A regular Oklahoma notary who never finished that authorization still has to be in the room. A bank, a commercial mailbox (CMRA), or the Postal Service still decides whether this packet may be remote.

The Oklahoma grade that is not a company letter

We grade the state rule first. Remote online notarization (RON) is a video session with a notary. A company cannot turn a regular Oklahoma commission into Secretary of State remote authorization. It also cannot charge a remote act above the $25 the statute prints, or treat the $5 in-person cap as the video price.

Oklahoma (the state rule)

State rule · September 2026
In-state RON
A
Remote online notarization is live. It is an electronic session. 49 O.S. § 201 is the Remote Online Notary Act, Laws 2019, SB 915, c. 338, effective January 1, 2020. Before the first remote act, a commissioned notary registers with the Secretary of State and receives written authorization. 49 O.S. § 204. The registration fee is $25. The notary describes the technology. The Secretary approves that technology for that notary. The authorization runs only to the commission’s expiration date. A renewal of the commission is not a renewal of the authorization. 49 O.S. § 205: during the act the notary must be physically located in Oklahoma. 49 O.S. § 206: an electronic journal, plus an audio and visual recording kept at least 10 years. 49 O.S. § 209: the remote act fee may not exceed $25. Those steps are why the path is an A. A notary who never received the written authorization is not this grade.
Signer RON access
A
A person in Oklahoma can use an in-state remote notary, or an out-of-state video notary if the receiving desk accepts that act. 49 O.S. § 205: the signer may be in Oklahoma, outside Oklahoma but not outside the United States, or outside the United States if the electronic record is for a United States court, government, or other covered entity, or involves property or a transaction substantially connected to the United States, and the notary has no actual knowledge that the act is prohibited where the signer is. 49 O.S. § 115: a notarial act performed in another state by a notary public of that state has the same effect here. The bank, clerk, title desk, or USPS mailbox store still decides whether this document may be remote. A checkout screen is signer access. It is not the same sentence as “this Oklahoma notary already holds written remote authorization for this commission term.”
Walk-in / mobile backup
B
Bank lobbies and UPS Store counters exist during hours. A mobile notary is a person who drives to you. That is the path when the identity quiz fails, the desk wants ink in the room, the job is testimony a shorthand reporter must take, or the person you hired never received remote authorization for this commission. 49 O.S. § 5: the maximum fee for each notarial act is $5, and an official absentee ballot affidavit is free. The section we read does not print a separate trip fee. We will not invent one. A house call is booked travel under a $5 act cap. Counters still close. That is a B, not an all-night grade.

Two caps, and the remote permission dies with the commission

Mixing the labels into one “is video legal in Oklahoma?” checkout is how a Tulsa owner pays a company sticker and still has a notary whose remote authorization ended with the last commission, or pays a video price against the $5 in-person cap. Oklahoma’s remote path is legal. It is not automatic on the day the commission arrives. It is also not one fee for every kind of act.

The commission comes first. 49 O.S. § 1, as OSCN displayed it when we retrieved the page: the Secretary of State appoints notaries for four years. The applicant is at least 18, a United States citizen, and employed in Oklahoma or a legal resident of Oklahoma. A felony conviction is grounds for removal and blocks a later application or renewal. The history line is Laws 2025, SB 1028, c. 238, § 1, effective January 1, 2026. The same section prints a new-commission filing fee of $50, a renewal filing fee of $45, and a same-day filing service fee of $50 on top of the filing fee.

SB 1028 also requires a national criminal history record check for a new applicant and for a renewal. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation takes fingerprints electronically. The search fee may not exceed $50 or the cost of the search, whichever is less. OSBI has fourteen working days to send the result to the Secretary of State. That search fee is not the $25 remote authorization fee, and it is not the fee you pay for a notarized document.

Within 60 days after the commission issues, and before any notarial act, the notary files an oath of office, a loyalty oath, an official signature, an impression of the official seal, and a bond. 49 O.S. § 2, history line Laws 2025, SB 1028, c. 238, § 2, effective January 1, 2026: the bond is $10,000, approved by the Secretary of State. A bond is a promise of money if the notary fails the duties of the office. It is not the price of your session. On filing the bond, the notary pays the Secretary of State $25. The notary may not perform any notarial act until the bond, official seal, oath, and loyalty oath are received and approved.

The Secretary of State screens do not all print those commission dollars. We are setting both versions down. We are not choosing which window a clerk will charge.

NNA’s SB 1028 note, labeled secondary, says the bill became law without the Governor’s signature, chapter 238, effective January 1, 2026, and that the Secretary of State told NNA the $10,000 bond applies to new and renewal applications filed on or after that date. The enrolled act we read does not print that grandfather sentence. We cite NNA for the sentence and we label it secondary. We will not treat it as a line in § 2.

Remote work is a second gate, and the fee for that gate is the one both SOS schedules agree on. 49 O.S. § 204(B): a notary applying to perform remote online notarizations pays $25 with the application. § 204(A): before the first remote online notarization, the notary registers and receives written authorization. The person may apply for the commission and the remote registration at the same time. § 204(C): the application includes the legal name, the official name on the commission, a description of the technology, a statement that the applicant will comply with the Secretary’s standards, and any other information the Secretary requires by rule. § 204(D): if the technology conforms to those standards and the applicant has met the section, the Secretary approves the technology and issues written authorization for the term of the commission.

We did not read a training-course hour requirement in § 204 or on the Remote Online Notarization FAQ. The gate we read is the application, the $25 fee, a description of the technology, and written authorization. It is not a second notary license with a class roster.

§ 204(F) is the clock that is easy to miss. The authorization begins on the date the Secretary sets and terminates on the commission’s expiration date. Renewal of the commission under § 1 does not renew the remote authorization. A notary who wants to keep doing video work after renewal files again. OAC 655:25-11-3(i) says the same thing. The rule was adopted in the Oklahoma Register, Volume 37, Issue 24, September 1, 2020, effective September 11, 2020. OAC 655:25-11-3(h): the Secretary notifies the applicant of approval or disapproval within 30 days after receipt. That 30 days is a decision deadline. It is not a sentence that the authorization starts only after 30 days of waiting.

The technology is named by the notary. It is not a standing list of brand names on the pages we read. OAC 655:25-11-3(b) asks for the name, address, and website of any vendor that will supply the technology, plus a statement that the technology complies with 49 O.S. §§ 201 through 214 and the rules. The Notary Filing page and the Notary Home page do not print Proof, Notarize, or NotaryLive as an approved-vendor roster. A checkout that shows one of those names is the company’s screen. It is not a statement that this notary listed that vendor and that the Secretary approved that technology for this commission term.

A later vendor change is a place the sources disagree. OAC 655:25-11-3(d): if the notary intends to use another vendor during the commission, an additional application identifying that vendor must be submitted. Subsection (e): each application under the section must be accompanied by a fee of $25, and the rule’s bracket cite is 49 O.S. § 209. The Remote Online Notarization FAQ, question 13, says the notary notifies the Secretary by providing the name, address, and website of the new vendor, and that there is no filing fee for that notification. The statute’s registration fee is § 204(B), $25. § 209 is the $25 cap on what a notary may charge for the remote act itself. The rule’s dollar matches both sections. Its bracket points at the act-fee section. We are printing both the rule and the FAQ. We are not deciding which one a clerk will collect for a vendor change.

Read the two act-fee sections before you treat a company price as Oklahoma law. 49 O.S. § 5: the maximum fee a notary may charge and collect for each notarial act is $5, except no fee shall be charged for the notarization of an official absentee ballot affidavit. The history line we retrieved for that fee sentence is Laws 2019, SB 915, c. 338, § 16, effective January 1, 2020. 49 O.S. § 209: a notary, or a person acting for a notary, may charge and collect a fee not to exceed $25 for a remote online notarial act. 49 O.S. § 213: if the Remote Online Notary Act conflicts with another provision of Title 49 or any other Oklahoma law, the Remote Online Notary Act controls. For a video act, the $25 cap is the one the conflict rule points to. The $5 cap remains the in-person act. An official absentee ballot affidavit stays free under § 5. We did not read a sentence that moves that free affidavit onto the $25 remote line, and we did not read a sentence that bans it from video.

Where you may sit is § 205, and the notary’s chair is narrower than yours. The notary is physically in Oklahoma and already authorized. You may be in Oklahoma. You may be outside Oklahoma but still inside the United States. You may be outside the United States only if the electronic record is to be filed with or relates to a matter before a court, governmental entity, public official, or other entity subject to United States jurisdiction, or involves property in the United States or a transaction substantially connected to the United States, and the notary has no actual knowledge that signing is prohibited in the place where you are. 49 O.S. § 211: a remote online notarization satisfies an Oklahoma law that would otherwise require you to appear in person. § 213 also says Oklahoma law decides whether the remote act is valid, no matter where you sat. That is the statute’s choice of law. It is not a promise that a bank in another state will accept the act.

The ID check has three doors, and the quiz door has numbers. 49 O.S. § 208(B): the notary may rely on personal knowledge of you; or on all three of remote presentation of a current government identification credential that contains your photograph and signature, credential analysis of that credential, and identity proofing; or on the oath or affirmation of a credible witness who knows you, if the notary knows that witness or has checked the witness the same way. Personal knowledge means dealings that give reasonable certainty you are who you claim to be. Credential analysis is a check, by a third person, that the ID is real. Identity proofing is a check, by a third person, that you match the ID, using personal information from public or private data sources. A credible witness is a person who knows you and will swear to that.

OAC 655:25-11-5 is the rule for the door that is not personal knowledge and not a credible witness. It calls that door multi-factor authentication. Credential analysis must use automated software, test that the ID’s security features are intact, confirm details against an issuing or authoritative source when that is available, and let the notary compare the photo on the ID with the person on the live connection. Identity proofing on that door is a dynamic knowledge-based authentication assessment. That is a quiz drawn from your personal history. The rule prints the quiz: at least five questions; at least five answer choices each; at least 80 percent correct; all questions answered within two minutes; one retake within 24 hours, with at least 40 percent of the questions replaced; no third try with the same notary inside 24 hours of the second failure; and the notary must not see or record the questions or answers. If that quiz cannot finish, a mobile notary or a walk-in is the product that can finish.

The certificate has required words. 49 O.S. § 208(E): the certificate must indicate that the act was a remote online notarial act performed by communication technology. A certificate is enough if it meets the Secretary’s standards, or if it is otherwise sufficient under Oklahoma law and contains a statement substantially as follows: “This remote online notarization involved the use of communication technology.”

The session file is part of the act. 49 O.S. § 206: the notary keeps a journal in a permanent, tamper-evident electronic format. Tamper-evident means a later change shows. The entry is made at the time of the act. It includes the date and time, a description of the document and the type of act, the full name and address of each principal, how identity was established, and the fee, if any. The notary, or a person acting for the notary, creates an audio and visual recording. The recording is kept at least 10 years from the date of the act. The journal is kept at least 10 years after the last remote act written in that journal. A guardian, agent, or personal representative keeps that duty if the notary cannot. The FAQ restates those two clocks and cites § 206(D).

The short-title section is the exclusion we read, and it is not a will list. 49 O.S. § 201(B): nothing in the act permits a notary to take testimony, certify transcripts, or otherwise exercise the authority of a certified or licensed shorthand reporter under Title 20, §§ 1501 through 1513. A shorthand reporter is a person licensed to write down testimony word for word. We did not read a ban on wills, trusts, or deeds in §§ 201 through 214. If the desk still wants someone in the room for one of those documents, the statute’s silence is not a promise the desk will take video.

A credible witness does not have to sit in only one chair. 49 O.S. § 208(D): a witness who is physically with you may still be remote from the notary, if the witness and the notary can see and hear each other. A witness who is physically with the notary may be remote from you, if the witness and you can see and hear each other. That is not a rule that every witness must sit beside you.

NNA’s country page says that, in states that cap remote fees, $25 is the most common maximum. Oklahoma does print that $25 figure, in § 209, for a remote online notarial act. It also prints $5 in § 5 for each notarial act, with the absentee-ballot affidavit free. § 213 is why we do not collapse those into one number. A company sticker near $25 can sit on the remote cap. It is not the $5 in-person cap, and it is not the $25 or $50 commission filing fee.

What actually needs a notary on an Oklahoma LLC / bank stack

An Oklahoma limited-liability company files articles of organization. 18 O.S. § 2004: one or more persons form the company by filing executed articles with the Secretary of State. 18 O.S. § 2005, the version OSCN marked current until November 1, 2026: the articles set forth the name, the term of existence, the address of the principal place of business, and the name and address of the registered agent. The section text we retrieved does not require a notary acknowledgment. A later version, effective November 1, 2026, adds an email address for the registered agent. That later text also does not require a notary acknowledgment. 18 O.S. § 2055 prints a $100 fee for filing the original articles. SOS Form 0074 (07/20) prints the same $100 and cites § 2055. The form text we retrieved does not contain a notary line. People still show up asking for a notary because a bank, a processor, a landlord, or a mailbox asked for a sworn statement on a different document that sits next to the articles.

Document Typical notary question Video vs ink in the room
Oklahoma articles of organization (18 O.S. §§ 2004 and 2005) The sections we read require the name, the term, and the addresses of the principal place of business and the registered agent. They do not require a notary acknowledgment. § 2055 prints a $100 filing fee for the original articles. SOS Form 0074 prints that $100 and does not contain a notary line. Do not buy a video session to notarize a notary line the articles statute does not print. If the live Secretary of State screen asks for something else, ask that desk before you pay.
Bank signup papers (resolutions, signature cards, sworn statements) The bank’s current checklist. Some desks accept an Oklahoma remote notary or an out-of-state video notary. Some want ink in the room. Ask the desk before you pay. A remote act is capped at $25 under § 209. An in-person act is capped at $5 under § 5. We will not invent a bank’s notary rule. § 115 can give an out-of-state act effect here. The desk can still say no.
PS Form 1583 (mailbox signup) Yes, a notary public licensed in a U.S. state, territory, possession, or DC, or the mailbox store employee in person. June 2024 form. The form’s own note allows a live video call. An Oklahoma remote notary or an out-of-state video notary can both fit that sentence if the store accepts the session. See the 1583 page.
Testimony, a transcript, or a shorthand-reporter job § 201(B) says the Remote Online Notary Act does not let a notary take testimony, certify transcripts, or do a shorthand reporter’s job under Title 20. That job is not a video notary session. If the desk wants a person in the room for a will, a deed, or any other document, § 201 through § 214 do not force that desk to accept video.
A document the desk still wants in ink, or in the room The desk’s instruction. § 209 does not force that desk to accept video. A mobile notary drives to you. § 5 caps the notarial act at $5 and does not print a trip fee. If the desk printed “in person” or “wet ink,” that is a mobile notary or a walk-in. The $25 remote cap does not raise the $5 in-person cap.

We do not publish a bank-by-bank or county-by-county “accepts video” list we have not read on that desk’s page this month. If you need the operating address so a bank will open the account, that is a different product. It is not this site’s directory.

Open all night versus booked, in this state

Because in-state remote online notarization is live, all-night service is a real option for many Oklahoma documents, if the receiving desk will take a remote act and if the notary actually holds written authorization for this commission term. An Oklahoma remote notary or a notary licensed in another video-notary state can both close that session when the desk accepts it. Company availability letters live on the directory, once.

If the desk wants ink in the room, the identity quiz fails, the job is a shorthand reporter’s, or the person you hired never finished the authorization, you are shopping store hours or a booked house call. That is the B on walk-in / mobile. Counters keep store hours. The in-person act is capped at $5. § 5 does not print a trip fee. The trip is booked. It is not a failure of § 205.

The remote legal maximum we read is $25 in § 209. The consumer starting prices we cite on company cards, about $25 a session, are still the official pages retrieved August 2026. Those are company stickers. A sticker at $25 can match the remote cap. It is not the $5 in-person cap, and it is not the $50 new-commission line or the $25 remote-authorization line in § 204(B).

Company letters live on the directory

Availability, identity check, and session-record letters for Proof/Notarize, NotaryLive, OneNotary, BlueNotary, mobile, and walk-in are on the directory, once. This page keeps the Oklahoma rule and the document table. Official starting prices we cite: NotaryLive about $25 per session; Proof/Notarize about $25 for the first notarization and $15 for each extra notarization; OneNotary online about $25 and mobile from about $80. We do not invent a session price for BlueNotary. Those stickers are company prices. They are not a statement that the Secretary of State approved that company for the notary on your screen, and they are not a statement that the remote authorization is still inside this commission term. Independent Oklahoma mobiles are not that OneNotary sticker. Counters set their own prices at or below the $5 act cap we can quote for an in-person act. We did not read a trip fee to add on top.

Form 1583 as an Oklahoma use-case, without becoming a mailbox review

USPS will not let a commercial mailbox (CMRA) hand you mail until PS Form 1583 (June 2024) is complete. Form 1583 is the Postal Service form you sign so that store can receive your mail. You sign in person with the store (or an authorized employee) or with a notary public. The form’s note allows a live video call. An Oklahoma signer can use an Oklahoma remote notary or an out-of-state remote notary. That is the same idea as Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Other states have their own rules. See Alabama, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, or South Carolina if that is your state.

What we will not do here: grade mailbox brands, pick an Oklahoma City, Tulsa, or Norman storefront, or explain store flags. Those are mailbox questions. The notary question is: did the session match the form (U.S.-licensed notary, two IDs, home address matching the address ID), and will the store accept that session? Details live on Form 1583 notarization.

A sequence that usually wastes less money

  1. Read the receiving desk’s current instruction. If they printed “in person” or “wet ink,” do not buy a video session to argue with them. The in-person act cap is $5. The remote act cap is $25. They are not the same number.
  2. If they accept a remote act, you may use an Oklahoma remote notary or a notary licensed in another video-notary state. The Secretary of State is the authority for the commission, the $25 remote authorization, and the written approval of the technology the notary named. NASS and NNA are the country sources. The company’s live notary pool is the day-of fact. Do not assume every Oklahoma notary on a checkout screen holds remote authorization for this commission term.
  3. Budget the extras from the official page, extra act, extra signer, witness, before you upload a six-signature packet at the $25 sticker. § 209 is a $25 legal maximum for the remote act. It is not a suggestion. A witness fee on a company page is not a person sitting next to you. § 208(D) says where a credible witness may sit.
  4. If the identity quiz fails, stop treating “try again after midnight” as a plan. The rule allows one retake within 24 hours, then a 24-hour stop with that same notary. Switch to a mobile notary or a walk-in. NotaryLive’s FAQ describes a Personal Verifier path. That is their product, not a universal escape hatch.
  5. Keep the session confirmation. The value of an Oklahoma remote session in a later dispute is the journal and the audio-video recording § 206 already requires the notary to keep for at least 10 years. The value of a walk-in is the ink the desk already said it wanted, inside the $5 cap.

Steps we retrieved still print a $25 new-commission fee and a $10 bond filing fee, then a $25 remote authorization fee. No second bond. Authorization does not renew with the commission. Journal and recording, 10 years. Remote act fee not to exceed $25, citing § 209. Question 13: a new-vendor notice has no filing fee.
  18. OAC 655:25-11-3, Oklahoma Register Volume 37, Issue 24, effective September 11, 2020: electronic application; vendor name, address, and website; $25 fee with a bracket cite to § 209; decision within 30 days; commission renewal does not renew authorization; an additional application if the vendor changes.
  19. OAC 655:25-11-5: if identity is not personal knowledge or a credible witness, credential analysis plus a dynamic knowledge-based authentication quiz of at least five questions, five choices, 80 percent correct, two minutes, one retake.
  20. 18 O.S. § 2004 and 18 O.S. § 2005: articles of organization. The text we retrieved does not require a notary acknowledgment.
  21. 18 O.S. § 2055: original articles of organization filing fee printed as $100. SOS Form 0074 (07/20) prints the same $100 and does not contain a notary line.
  22. NNA, Oklahoma Senate Bill 1028, labeled secondary: chapter 238, effective January 1, 2026, became law without the Governor’s signature. NNA reports that the Secretary of State said the $10,000 bond applies to applications filed on or after that date. The enrolled act does not print that sentence.
  23. NNA, What is a Remote Online Notary?: country context. NNA also says $25 is the most common maximum in states that cap remote fees. Oklahoma prints that figure in § 209, and prints $5 in § 5.
  24. NASS, Remote Electronic Notarization: currently 47 states and the District of Columbia have a law that allows remote e-notarization. A law on the books is not the same as a notary who holds written Oklahoma authorization for this commission term.
  25. Proof RON map (updated July 8, 2026), labeled secondary vendor map. Proof is also a listed vendor on this site. That page is not the authority for an Oklahoma remote notary. 49 O.S. § 204 and the Secretary of State are.
  26. Notarize consumer pricing: $25 / $15 / $15 / $10.
  27. NotaryLive pricing: $25/session; extras; 10-year storage.
  28. OneNotary individuals pricing: $25 online; mobile from $80.
  29. PS Form 1583, June 2024.
