On any business day, pleadings, other documents, and orders may also be filed at OAH located in the Sequoyah Building, 2400 North Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Filing may be accomplished through hand-delivery, postal or parcel delivery, facsimile transmission, and electronic transmission, if the available means are secure and compatible with OAH's docketing and case management software.
