Pennsylvania Bill of Sale
Does Pennsylvania Require a Notarized Bill of Sale?
Notarization Requirement
Yes, Required
Pennsylvania doesn't have a standalone bill of sale form — instead, both the seller's title-assignment signature and the buyer's signature on Form MV-4ST must be notarized, making it one of the few states requiring notarization on both sides of the transaction.
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.
