Florida Bill of Sale
Does Florida Require a Notarized Bill of Sale?
Notarization Requirement
No, Not Required
No notarization required. The seller should file the Notice of Sale portion of Form HSMV 82050 with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department.
Notarized bill of sale vs. notarized title
A lot of the confusion around state notary rules comes from mixing up two different documents: the bill of sale itself, and the signature on the certificate-of-title assignment. Some states require one but not the other. The requirement above is specific to the bill of sale — always double-check which document a notary requirement actually applies to before you sign.
