Oklahoma at a glance	Figure
Court	District Court
Divorce filing fee	$143 flat filing fee under 28 O.S. §152.1. Two add-ons apply on top and are published alongside rather than folded in: $6 Law Library Fund and $25 court information system (OCIS) fee.
Name change filing fee	Unverified — the §152.1 schedule has no name-change line. Its 'all others $85' line is not officially labelled as the name-change fee, so we do not publish $85 as the name-change fee. Confirm with the court clerk.
Name-change publication	Required — Required — 12 O.S. §1633: publish once, at least 10 days before the hearing, in an authorised newspaper. The court may waive publication for good cause, including domestic violence.
General civil filing fee	$163 for claims of $10,001 or more; $150 for claims of $10,000 or less (plus the $6 + $25 add-ons noted above).
Probate filing fee	$135 under §152.1 (plus the same add-ons).

Name change: fee and publication

Unverified — the §152.1 schedule has no name-change line. Its 'all others $85' line is not officially labelled as the name-change fee, so we do not publish $85 as the name-change fee. Confirm with the court clerk.

Publication: Required — 12 O.S. §1633: publish once, at least 10 days before the hearing, in an authorised newspaper. The court may waive publication for good cause, including domestic violence.

How filing works in Oklahoma

Prepare the petition or complaint for the District Court — most Oklahoma courts publish the forms on their self-help pages.
File with the clerk and pay the filing fee above. Keep the stamped copy; it is your proof of filing.
Arrange service of process on the other party where the case requires it (divorce and general civil cases do; a name change usually does not).
Complete any publication the rules require — for a Oklahoma name change: required.
Attend the hearing or, in uncontested matters, submit the proposed decree for the judge's signature.
