How Oklahoma handles it

  • Two courts of last resort: Supreme Court (civil) and Court of Criminal Appeals (criminal)1
  • UCC financing statements are filed centrally with the Oklahoma County Clerk, not the Secretary of State8
  • Marriage licenses, divorce decrees and probate are all handled by the county Court Clerk (district court), not the County Clerk; the County Clerk records deeds6
  • Oklahoma statewide district-court dockets are split between OSCN and ODCR ('Non-OSCN Counties')3
