Digital or Electronic Signatures—Can they be Used?
The Assistant Attorney General who advises the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC) indicated at the October Commission meeting that Electronic Signatures or Digital Signatures are not allowed in real estate transactions. The advice given OREC is due to an Oklahoma law, Title 12A, 15-121b, “Real estate transactions and district and appellate court filings shall require the use of a registered certification authority.” At this time, no vendors have met the “registered certification authority” requirement in the State of Oklahoma because the Secretary of State has not moved forward with implementing rules to approve a “registered certification authority.”  There are several vendors who are actively marketing electronic signature services in the Tulsa market as a way to save time, reduce your costs, and better serve your customer. The Assistant Attorney General and OREC representatives are in contact with vendors on this issue, in particular, DocuSign. OREC and OAR have indicated that a legislative solution to this issue is needed and will be sought in 2011. The GTAR Board of Directors is in support of a legislative solution and will continue to monitor. Faxed signatures are not affected and may still be used.

OAR Dues Increase for 2011
On October 13, 2010, the Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® (OAR) Board of Directors voted to increase their 2011 annual dues in the amount of $39.00. Because the GTAR Bylaws require dues to be billed on October 1 of each year, this increase was not included in your original dues statement. According to OAR’s Bylaws, GTAR is required to collect OAR annual dues. The additional $39 will be due by February 1, 2011. An additional invoice will be posted to your GTAR account and a notice emailed today, November 1, 2010. If you have a credit card on file for payment of your GTAR dues, payment will be applied today. Questions about the OAR dues increase should be directed to OAR at 800-375-9944.
Attention: New Member Processing
During the months of November and December, all new members to GTAR must pay prorated 2010 dues PLUS 2011 dues and the application fee at the time of application.
