Oregon Bill of Sale
Does Oregon Require a Notarized Bill of Sale?
Notarization Requirement
No, Not Required
Not required in the standard case. It's only needed as a 'release of interest' when the seller isn't the titled owner. Sellers must report the sale to the DMV within 10 days.
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.
