Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 59-1320: Registration of license and fee – County list of bondsmen

– Certified copy of appointment.

A. No bail bondsman shall become a surety on an undertaking

unless he or she has first registered his or her license in the

office of the court clerk in any county in which the bondsman

intends to write bonds. In any county in which a bondsman registers

his or her license, the bondsman shall provide notice to the court

clerk in writing of any change in residence or business address

within five (5) business days after a change. The court clerk of

the county shall provide a list of bondsmen permitted to write bail

in that county to the judges and law enforcement offices of that

county. Law enforcement shall post the list conspicuously near all

telephones used by prisoners. The list shall be updated and

distributed to law enforcement by the court clerk at least monthly,

provided there has been a change to the list, and shall consist of

professional, multicounty agent, property, cash and surety bail

bondsmen. Any surety bondsman without a current surety appointment

shall be removed from the list. In any county not having a licensed

bondsman authorized to do business within the county, the court

having jurisdiction shall allow and fix bail.

B. A surety bondsman shall also file with the court clerk a

certified copy of his or her appointment by power of attorney from

the insurer whom he or she represents as an agent.

C. A fee of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) shall be paid to the court

clerk for each county in which the bail bondsman registers his or

her license. The fee shall be payable biennially by the date of

license renewal. The court clerk and the sheriff shall not permit

the registration or filing of a bail bondsman unless such bondsman

is currently licensed by the Insurance Commissioner under the

provisions of Section 1301 et seq. of this title.
