It is very difficult to read your post. It sounds like

You bought a car in Penn

You live in Ohio

You got a title with the car but the owner did not sign the title "over" with a notary??

Ohio is gonna require a notarized signature?

If this is true and IF Ohio requires a notorized signature, the only place that you can LEGALLY get a notary on HIS signature is with the title IN HIS HAND and AT HIS NOTARY

If Ohio requires a notary on this title, probably the easiest way out is to get the original owner to apply for a duplicate title, PROPERLY sign it over in front of a notary, get the notary to do his deed, then send you that new title by insured, registered mai.

Or.......drive back to Penn.

it was late and i don,t come over well in type. yes i bought a car that was from pennsylvania that was in ohio.the guy i got the car from did not have the title work done before he sold it to me. i think i can get it notarized here.do you think that will work?the o/e owner have signed it.

I would say check with your local DMV to see what they require.

Many states do not require a notary seal.

PA requires the title to be signed in the presence of the notary.

No You don't seem to understand the idea of a "notarized" document. The entire idea is that the "notary" is staking his reputation, his official authority, on the idea that the proper people have signed the document, in the proper place, proper date, and voluntarily, if that's an issue, and so on. The person SIGNING the document MUST sign the document in the presence of the notary.

So it seems to me there are two questions:

Is Ohio going to require this to be notarized?

Is Penn gonna require it?

If either answer is yes, then you need to have the

TITLE

SELLER

and NOTARY all in the same place when it's signed

If you have a good notary better slip him a fin.

I have never had a problem transferring a title in PA as long as it is signed by the seller, some notary's have a stick in an uncomfortable place, that's why it is a good idea to have a notary / tag place that knows you and will work with you to solve problems, that and a good parts guy

Hopefully you can find somebody to notarize the title. The notary is basiclly verifiying the person selling the item is the person on the title. That is why a notary will usually look at your license and compare the signatures.

It is the sellers responsibility to give you a clean title. This could get messy but I hope it doesn't.

Hope this helps.
I'm working on getting a title for a 66 Charger with
an unknown owner.
It's a pain but can be done.
