A Step-by-Step Guide: How to Become an Online Notary in Oklahoma

Ready to start your online notary journey in Oklahoma?
At Online Notary Center, we make it simple to become a Remote Online Notary (RON) — allowing you to notarize documents securely from anywhere in the U.S. You can connect with new signers or bring your own clients, all while earning money from the comfort of your home.

Follow these steps to meet Oklahoma’s state requirements and start performing online notarizations.

1. Hold a Traditional Notarial Commission

Before performing online notarizations, you must first hold an active Oklahoma notary commission.
If you don’t have one yet, visit the Oklahoma Secretary of State’s website for instructions on applying.
Once commissioned, upload a copy of your notary commission to your Online Notary Center account.

2. Obtain Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance

E&O insurance protects you financially in the event of accidental errors or false claims.
The State of Oklahoma requires you to maintain a minimum $25,000 policy.
Most plans are affordable, typically costing between $15–$30 per year, and can be purchased from providers like the National Notary Association (NNA) or other reputable insurers.

Upload your policy certificate to your Online Notary Center profile to keep your account in good standing.

3. Purchase a Digital Certificate from IdenTrust

To securely seal and sign your notarized documents, you’ll need a digital certificate (digital signature).
Online Notary Center partners with IdenTrust to provide this service.
This certificate ensures each document is tamper-evident, meaning any changes after notarization are automatically detected.

Follow IdenTrust’s instructions here to purchase and activate your certificate.

4. Select Your Online Notary Center Plan

Choose the plan that fits your workflow and business goals.
Our platform includes everything you need — secure audio/video technology, journal, seal, and e-signature tools.

5. Apply for Remote Online Notarization (RON) Authorization

Next, submit a Remote Online Notarization Application with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.
The application fee is $25, payable directly through the SOS website.
