Tag: Notary for a Title Transfer

For a standard private transfer of a Pennsylvania vehicle title, the buyer’s and seller’s required signatures generally need notarization. However, a qualified PennDOT-authorized dealership may verify those signatures instead, including for eligible private-party transactions. Out-of-state titles may have different requirements, so check with an authorized agent before signing.

You’re mid-sale, everyone wants this done today, and now there’s a disagreement over whether the title needs a notary. Your buyer read something online. Your neighbor swears they sold their truck last year without one. Meanwhile, the sale is on hold.
