Notarize a vehicle title form online
Several states' title paperwork — the title assignment itself, a lien release, an odometer disclosure, a duplicate-title application — carries a notarization block. When the buyer is in another city or the lienholder is a bank three states away, doing that block on a video call is the difference between closing the sale this week and mailing paper in circles.
What the notarial act is
Title forms are usually notarized with an acknowledgment of the seller's (or lienholder's) signature. The form itself shows the notary block; whether a given state's title needs one at all varies — some states dropped the requirement, others kept it for specific forms. The agency that issued the form decides what it requires.
Whether a particular office or recipient requires notarization — and in what form — is that office’s decision. We describe the process; the receiving party sets the requirement.

Common questions
Which states require a notarized title?
A minority of states put a notary block on the title assignment, and the list changes. Rather than repeat a list that goes stale, check the form in your hand — if it has a notary block, it needs one — or ask the DMV office handling the transfer. Our state pages describe each state's online-notarization rules with the statute cited.
The buyer is out of state. Can we still do this?
Yes — that's the normal case for us. Each party signs from where they are on a recorded video session with a commissioned notary, and we overnight the original title paperwork to whoever needs to hold it, with tracking on the receipt.
What does it cost?
The vehicle title workflow is priced per document with the notary's fee itemized separately, and shipping is a disclosed flat handling fee plus live postage — no memberships. The pricing page shows every line before you pay.
