Notary FAQ
Can the seller sign a Louisiana title without the buyer present?
State statute provides that no person shall sell a vehicle without the delivery to the purchaser a certificate of title properly assigned. (We must have the buyer’s legal name from their Driver’s License, or Company name and the address of the buyer to print on the title. The buyer is not required to sign the title in the presence of the notary.) See the full OMV Open Title / Vehicle Registration Requirements Here.

Do I need an out-of-state title Notarized?
See this link for the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles Policy. Out of State Transfers and Reciprocity with Other States. The situation is different with different states. You also may need a copy of the seller’s driver’s license (front & back) or an affidavit of non-residence and a Bill of Sale.

Are Louisiana Notaries required to use a “seal” or the “crimper/embosser”?
A Louisiana Notary’s signature is their seal. If the document is remaining in the state of Louisiana the signature must be accompanied by his/her name and ID number in some fashion (printed or typed is accepted). If the document is leaving the state there must be some type of stamp or “seal” (stamp or crimper/embosser), however, there are no specifications to those requirements of the “seal”.
