abstracting fees.

A. The Oklahoma Abstractors Board shall issue a certificate of

authority to any applicant who has complied with the provisions of

the Oklahoma Abstractors Act. The certificate shall be in written

form and shall indicate the county or counties in which the

applicant may operate. The certificate shall be prominently

displayed in the office of the certificate holder.

B. All certificates of authority issued pursuant to the

provisions of the Oklahoma Abstractors Act shall expire annually on

a staggered schedule established by the Board except the first

certificates which may cover more than one (1) year but less than

two (2) years. Renewal procedures are as follows:

1. Applications for renewal shall be made ninety (90) days

prior to expiration and shall be accompanied by a renewal fee in an

amount determined by the Board not to exceed the original

application fee;

2. Any individual, firm, corporation, or other entity holding a

certificate of authority who fails to apply for renewal and pay the

renewal fee shall be notified by the Board no later than sixty (60)

days prior to expiration of the certificate of authority;

3. The individual, firm, corporation, or other entity shall

have thirty (30) days from the date of notification to file a

renewal application; and

4. The name of any individual, firm, corporation, or other

entity failing to renew the certificate of authority shall be

stricken from the records of the Board and said individual, firm,

corporation, or other entity shall no longer engage in the business

of abstracting in this state until authorized.

C. A list of abstracting fees shall be attached to an

application for certificate of authority, an application to renew a

certificate of authority and an application to transfer a

certificate of authority. No certificate of authority shall be

issued to any applicant until the list of abstracting fees is

approved by the Board.
