Notary cost · Oklahoma

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.

$5
per notarial act — that's the notarial stamp, capped by Oklahoma. Getting a notary to you (the trip) is a separate, market-set charge. In Oklahoma a notary may charge a maximum of $5.00 for each notarial act, and no more than $25.00 for a remote online notarial act; no fee may be charged for notarizing an official absentee ballot affidavit.

The two prices, separated

1 · The notarial fee

$5 per notarial act

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

Not capped by Oklahoma

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.

Your options, compared honestly

OptionWhat you payWhen it's the right call
Bank / credit unionOften free for account holdersSimple documents, during branch hours, when you can get there. Call first — not every branch has a notary.
Walk-in (UPS-type)Up to $5 per notarial act + the store's own convenience feeYou're already out, no account at a bank, need it now. You travel to them.
Mobile notary$5 per notarial act + a travel fee (a base rate plus mileage, set by the notary)Hospital, homebound, after-hours, real-estate or multi-signer signings — when the trip is worth paying for. Ask for the travel fee itemized upfront.
Online / RON RON · Live in-state$25 per sessionYou can notarize by video without leaving home. Confirm the receiving party accepts a remote notarization.
