How much does a notary cost in Oklahoma?
Most "notary cost" pages are run by an online-notarization platform or a notary supplier — each answering with its own product. This one isn't. Here's what it actually costs in Oklahoma, all your options compared fairly — including the one where your bank does it for free.
The two prices, separated
1 · The notarial fee
State-capped. This is the official act — verifying you, witnessing the signature, applying the stamp. It's the same amount whether you drive to the notary or they drive to you.
2 · The travel / convenience fee
Title 49 does not address travel or mileage fees. A mobile/traveling notary may charge a separate travel fee (commonly $50-$100 in-market) in addition to the $5 statutory per-act maximum; the statute neither caps nor requires disclosure of that travel charge. It only applies when a notary comes to you — a bank or walk-in counter doesn't charge it.

SB 1028 (effective January 1, 2026) raised the surety bond to $10,000 and increased commission/application/filing fees, but it amended only Title 49 Sections 1 and 2 - it did NOT change the $5.00 per-act fee cap in Section 5 or the $25.00 RON cap in Section 209.
Title 49 imposes no itemized-receipt requirement and no fee-posting/schedule-display requirement on notaries.
Notary seal must contain 'State of Oklahoma', 'Notary Public', and the notary's name; the notary must add commission number and expiration date to the official signature (49 O.S. § 5).
