Title Transfer PA - How the Process Works

How to Transfer a Car Title in PA

When you sell a car in Pennsylvania you must go through a PA car title transfer. However, the state of Pennsylvania requires a notary title transfer, which means when you sign your title a notary must be present. Notarizing a car title in PA should be pretty easy though. All you have to do is make an appointment with a notary which can be found at your local bank or post office. Once you arrive with a valid ID, you pay a small fee and they will notarize the title after you sign it in their presence. 

Now that you know how to notarize a car title in PA, where exactly are you supposed to sign it?

Where Do I Sign a Pennsylvania Title?

The title MUST BE NOTARIZED! Do not sign the title until you are in front of a Notary Public.

Sign the back of the title where it reads “Signature of Seller.”

Print your name on the back of the title where it is marked “Seller and/or Co-Seller Must Hand Print Name Here.”

Can I Sell a Car in Pennsylvania Without a Title?

Pennsylvania requires a title to sell a vehicle. If your title is lost, a duplicate title can be obtained from the BMV.
