What are the requirements for notarizing a document in Oklahoma?

To notarize a document in Oklahoma, certain requirements must be met. First, the signer must personally appear before the notary public and provide a valid identification document issued by a federal or state government - such as a driver's license or passport - which includes a photograph and a signature. The document being notarized must be complete, meaning it should contain all necessary information, and should be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation. Additionally, the signer must be able to communicate directly with the notary in a language both parties understand. The notary public will then execute the notarial act, affixing the notary seal, and recording the necessary details in their journal, including the type of notarial act performed, the date, and the signer's name.
