• Steps

When buying or selling a car, you may need to notarize the signature of either the seller or the buyer. This is done to protect both parties to the transaction. To carry out the certification procedure for the certificate of ownership of the car, simply follow the following sequence of steps.

Steps

1. 1 Determine whose signature needs to be notarized. Usually, the seller's signature must be verified.Find a place for the signature or stamp of a notary public under each signature to determine which one requires certification.
2. 2 Find a public notary. Public notaries are licensed by the state to certify signatures. The certification ensures that the signature really belongs to the person to whom it should belong. You can find a public notary:
   • At your local bank or credit union. Public notaries who can certify documents for a small fee are available in many financial institutions.
   • A notary will be available for a small fee at most UPS offices and pawnshops, but in any case it is much better than calling ahead and asking for certification.
   • Notary Rotary. The Notary Rotary website provides a database of public notaries that can be found by postal code.
   • Search Texas State Secretariat Notaries Notary Search.
3. 3 Schedule an appointment with a notary. If the signature of the other party needs to be certified, then you must be present with her to receive the title deed. If it is not possible to be present together, then the signatures can be certified separately.
4. 4 Take all the necessary documentation to the meeting with the notary. You will need a title deed, a state-issued photo ID, and a certification fee (typically $ 3.00). Proof of identity must be issued by the state, such as a driver's license or military ID with a photograph.
5. 5 Provide your proof of identity to the notary.
6. 6 Sign the title deed. Use blue or black ink.
   • If you are acting as a seller, then sign your name exactly as indicated on the title deed. For example, if the title deed has a second initial, then you need to use the second initial.
   • If you are acting as a buyer, please include your name as you would like it to appear on the title deed. For example, if you want to use your second initial, sign the certificate with your second initial.
7. 7 Get the signature and stamp of a notary public on the title deed. The notary will sign, stamp or stamp the title deed to certify that the signatures are valid signatures of the buyer and / or seller.
8. 8 Pay the payment to the notary. Notaries may charge a small payment (usually $ 3) for their services.
