Same in every state I've lived (7 at this point), all it requires is that the title is signed by the owner (or the signature looks like it was signed by the owner). The DMV /might/ care to look at the signature when they accepted it vs when they transferred it, or they might now. No notary or witness required.
- nicenewtemp84 3y agoIn California I've heard that DMV can not, or will not, question a signature. I bought and sold cars to pay my way through college, during prime craiglist years, and had to 'recreate' countless signatures when forms were missing or required or even when I was lied to by sellers. Sounds reasonable I assume, unless we think there's a database of signatures somewhere in a government office DMV has access to, how in the world would they even be able to question a signature?
- mulmen 3y agoEvery government issued ID I have ever had included my signature, so I assume they compare to that?
- nicenewtemp84 3y agoWhen you buy a car, there is no requirement to provide the ID of the buyer. I suppose DMV could be detectives about it, and lookup old profiles of people on 20 year old titles and somehow match them to registered owners at that time to find their id profile, but no, this isn't done.
- Alupis 3y agoThe same signature you scribbled on that unresponsive, old and abused touchscreen? Are signatures even a good way to validate identity?
- mulmen 3y agoProbably not, I was just answering: > how in the world would they even be able to question a signature?
