A: let me finish: (see my other response) : Treaties between the U. S. and other countries would be necessary for registration; HOWEVER:

A judgment rendered in a foreign country can be domesticated in the state of Oklahoma by following the statute in that regard. See §12-721. Filing and status of foreign judgments. of the Oklahoma Statutes.

There is a notice provision, and a good lawyer can mount a defense to its domestication, but it is not child's play

Good Luck
