There is a Notary Public available during all business hours. Pennsylvania Notary Publics (Notaries) are commissioned by the Secretary of the Commonwealth and help to curb document fraud and/or identity theft. Notaries are bonded for their professional services and adhere to strict guidelines concerning an individual’s identification and documentation verification. There were fundamental changes in Pennsylvania Notarial duties 10/26/17 – the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA).

Q. Does PA allow online notary service?

Yes, Pennsylvania allows remote notarization of certain documents. But Pennsylvania doesn’t offer online notary services for vehicle and boat title transfers and registrations. The state allows authorized agents like 309 Auto Tags to process these transactions partially online and charge customers a fee for doing so. These agents pay a use fee to the Department of Transportation (PennDOT) for the use of the system for title transfer and registration. PA also requires you to appear in person for notarization and the physical surrender of the old title for processing and issuance of the new one.
