Texas Vehicle & DMV Mobile Notary

Professional notarization for vehicle sales, transfers, and DMV paperwork, brought directly to you across Texas.

Texas Vehicle Document Notarization

I specialize in notarizing DMV and vehicle-related documents to ensure your vehicle transactions are legally binding and properly executed. Texas law requires notarization for key vehicle documents to prevent fraud, verify identities, and confirm the voluntary intent of all parties.

Skip the long lines at the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) or County Tax Assessor-Collector (CTAC) offices and have your vehicle documents notarized on your schedule. As a mobile notary, I come to your agreed upon location, office, dealership, or any location that’s convenient for you and the other parties involved in the transaction.

Common Vehicle Notary Scenarios in Texas

Private Vehicle Sales

When the seller can’t be present at the CTAC office to sign over the title, a notarized Power of Attorney (Form VTR-271-A) authorizes the buyer or another agent to handle the title transfer.

Gifting a Vehicle

Transferring a vehicle as a gift to eligible family members requires the Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer (Form 14-317) with notarized signatures from both donor and recipient to qualify for sales tax exemption.

Inheriting a Vehicle

When a vehicle owner passes away without a will or formal probate proceedings, heirs use the Affidavit of Heirship (Form VTR-262) with all heir signatures notarized to transfer the title.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Texas vehicle forms legally require notarization?

Key documents requiring notarization include Form VTR-271-A (Power of Attorney for Motor Vehicle Transactions), Form 14-317 (Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer), and Form VTR-262 (Affidavit of Heirship). Additionally, Vehicle Storage Facility forms and certain lien release documents may require notarization depending on the specific circumstances.

What ID is acceptable for Texas vehicle document notarization?

Texas notaries can accept: valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID cards, U.S. passports, U.S. military IDs, valid foreign passports stamped by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and valid driver’s licenses or ID cards issued by Mexico or Canada. The ID must contain a photograph and signature of the holder and must not be expired.

Do I need notarization for a gift transfer between family members?

Yes. The Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer (Form 14-317) requires notarized signatures from both the donor and recipient to qualify for sales tax exemption. Eligible relationships include immediate family members (spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren) and their step- and in-law equivalents, as well as guardians and transfers from a decedent’s estate.

How does inheriting a vehicle work without probate in Texas?

When a vehicle owner dies without a will or when the will isn’t being probated, Texas allows transfer using the Affidavit of Heirship (Form VTR-262). All legal heirs must be listed, and all must sign the affidavit with each signature notarized. The form requires comprehensive information about the deceased owner and the vehicle, and all signers swear under oath that they are the sole heirs and agree to the title transfer.

What are your fees for mobile vehicle document notarization?

My fees comply with Texas Government Code § 406.024, which sets maximum allowable fees for notarial acts ($10 for the first signature acknowledgment/jurat and $1 for each additional signature). I charge a separate travel fee based on distance and location, which I’ll clearly communicate before your appointment. All fees will be itemized, with the notarial fee and travel fee listed separately.
