No, not for the will itself.
The signing rule on the official page we read asks for two attesting witnesses, who each sign. The testator signs in their presence or acknowledges the signature to them. A notary isn't part of that rule; one comes in for the self-proving affidavit, where it's used.
In the official wording
"There must be two attesting witnesses"
From Oklahoma Statutes Title 84, Wills and Succession (Oklahoma Legislature, complete title), checked November 2026.
What else the signing needs
- Self-proving affidavit
- Allowed, before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments and administer oaths, or by a written declaration under penalty of perjury.
"made before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments to deeds of conveyance and to administer oaths"
- Interested witnesses
- A gift to a witness is void unless two other competent witnesses signed. A witness who would inherit anyway keeps up to that share.
"unless there are two other competent subscribing witnesses to the same"
- Handwritten wills
- Recognized if entirely written, dated and signed by the testator's own hand. No witnesses needed.
"entirely written, dated and signed by the hand of the testator himself"
- Who can make a will
- Over 18 and of sound mind.
"Every person over the age of eighteen (18) years of sound mind may, by last will, dispose of all his estate."
Not confirmed on the pages we read: electronic wills and remote witnessing. Check with the probate court for the county where the will-maker lives (statute: Oklahoma Statutes Title 84, Wills and Succession (Oklahoma Legislature, complete title)).
Next step
Plan an in-person signing, with the witnesses in the room. Online notarization of a will is generally not available through us: New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves wills and codicils out for signers outside the U.S. (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10), and states set their own rules on video witnessing.
Need a notary for the self-proving affidavit in Oklahoma? We can look for a mobile notary commissioned there; bring your own witnesses (two).

If a local notary in Oklahoma does it: $5 per notarial act, under the state's fee rules (Oklahoma notary fees).
Worth knowing
An oral will is valid only in narrow cases: an estate of $1,000 or less, proved by two witnesses, made in military service, at sea or expecting immediate death from an injury that day.
