Penalties for notaries giving legal advice
Beginning November 1, 2026, violating the notary law that bans giving certain legal advice is a misdemeanor. The punishment is a fine up to $1,000, up to one year in county jail, or both. After a final judgment for that violation, the Oklahoma Secretary of State revokes the notary’s appointment for eight years. The revocation follows a final judgment from an Oklahoma district court or an equivalent court outside Oklahoma.
