In most states, becoming a notary public involves meeting a number of requirements. Generally, you must be 18 years of age, not have a serious criminal history, and successfully complete an application process. In some states, the notary application process will require notary education (ranging from a simple online course to a notary class and competency exam) and a background check, as well as the purchase of a surety bond. A more thorough explanation for your state is described below.

Step 2: Receive your commission and obtain your official surety bond and seal from Notary Rotary, Inc.

If the application is found to be in order, your commission will be mailed to you along with an informational brochure and a blank bond form containing both an oath of office and loyalty oath. If corrections are needed, the application will be returned along with a letter of explanation.

Upon receipt of your commission, you will need to purchase a notary seal and a $1,000 surety bond. Please see the Oklahoma Notary Supplies at the Notary Rotary online store.

State law does not require an Oklahoma notary to keep records of their official acts. However, it is recommended that a notary maintain a log of his/her official acts to assist in recalling past notarial acts, if needed, or if legally challenged. The Modern Journal of Notarial Events, available in the Notary Rotary, Inc. online store, is a great way to record all manner of information regarding notarial acts.

Step 3: File your oath of office, loyalty oath, and surety bond with the Secretary of State's office

Before a person may act as a notary, he/she must file a $1,000.00 surety bond dated the same as the notary commission. The bond, together with a loyalty oath and oath of office, needs to be filed with the Secretary of State. The filing fee is $10.00. Filing questions should be directed to the Secretary of State's office.
