Where should a person report illegal, improper or questionable acts by a notary public?
Persons suspected of any wrongdoing or mistakes acting as a notary public should be reported to the local police department and/or the district attorney’s office. Since The Oklahoma Secretary of State is not an enforcement agency and does not employ legal counsel, it cannot accept reports of misconduct. When a final judgment from an Oklahoma district court is rendered against a notary public for performing a false or fraudulent notarial act, the Secretary of State can then revoke the notary public’s appointment.
