Frequently Asked Questions
What does "foreign judgment" mean under this Act?
Section 720 defines it as any judgment, decree, or order of a United States court, or any other court, entitled to full faith and credit in Oklahoma — chiefly judgments from other states and federal courts.
What can I do under this Act?
A judgment creditor can file an out-of-state or federal judgment with an Oklahoma court clerk and enforce it much like a judgment the Oklahoma court entered itself.
Is this the only way to enforce another jurisdiction's judgment in Oklahoma?
No. Section 725 preserves a creditor's right to sue on the judgment directly instead of registering it under this Act.
