Automobile Notarization 

In many states, yes—especially for private party vehicle sales. A notary may be required to witness the seller’s signature on the vehicle title to make the transfer official and legally binding. Always check your state’s DMV or DOT requirements.

Yes, in most cases, the seller can have the title notarized without the buyer present, depending on state requirements. Typically, only the seller’s signature must be notarized to release ownership. The notary will verify the seller’s identity and witness the signature.

If you're unable to meet a notary in person, online notarization may be an option. Many states now allow Remote Online Notarization (RON), which lets you sign and notarize the title through a secure video platform—without leaving home. This is especially helpful if either party is out of state.

However, not all DMVs accept electronically notarized car titles, so it’s important to check your state’s specific rules with the DMV or an attorney before using an online notary.

It’s possible to get a car title notarized online, but it depends on the state you're in. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is allowed in many states, where you can sign and notarize documents through a secure video call with a licensed notary.

However, not all states accept electronically notarized car titles for vehicle ownership transfer. Before using an online notary, make sure that:

• Your state allows online notarization for car titles.

• The DMV or local authorities accept electronically notarized titles.

If online notarization is allowed, you’ll typically need a valid government-issued ID and access to an approved online notary platform to complete the process.

Important: Always verify with your local DMV or motor vehicle agency to ensure they accept RON car titles before proceeding with online notarization.

Yes, you can use online notarization software for your dealership, provided your state allows Remote Online Notarization (RON) for automobile transactions. Many dealerships are adopting online notarization to streamline the vehicle sale process, especially for out-of-state buyers or those unable to attend in person.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. State Laws: First, check if your state permits RON for vehicle-related documents, such as titles, bills of sale, and lien releases. Not all states have adopted these laws, so it’s essential to verify the legal requirements.

2. Approved Platforms: You’ll need to use an approved online notarization platform (like NotaryCam) that complies with your state’s regulations. These platforms provide a secure video environment and digital tools for notarizing documents remotely.

3. Document Acceptance: Confirm that your state’s DMV or motor vehicle agency accepts electronically notarized documents for vehicle ownership transfers and other paperwork.

4. Notary Certification: The notary handling the online notarization must be licensed and authorized to perform RON in your state.

Using online notarization software can save time and enhance convenience for both you and your customers, especially if you're dealing with remote buyers or sellers. It also reduces the need for physical meetings and paperwork exchanges.

Before implementing, consult with your legal team or state DMV to ensure compliance with all requirements.
