#81 of 120 GA Title Car To NC by 1kreationz

Feb 25, 2008 (7:54 pm)

hello, im having alot of frustration with all of this registering car from out of state. I traded my car with a private owner from georgia for his car with a GA title signed over to me, and i signed my title over to him, im just wondering do i need to notorize the title under his name and my name for both titles, in order to register my car in NC with my tags. this would be a great help guys thanks....clueless right now

when we sold our car in NC we had to have our signature notorized on the title in order for the new owner to be able to get it titled and registered in their name. The title we had was a PA one. Hope that helps. If you need more info go the the license plate agency. The one I went to in Hampstead was very helpful.

nj2pa2nc, when you said our signature, meaning both seller and buyer signature on title when notorized. because im not buying a car, i'm going to trade my car for his car, i was just thinking that we just had to sign over title to title..correct, or do i need to be in georgia to notorize his title and him to be in nc to notorize my title..if its that hard then *Ohhh Looord, Give Me A Miracle...

the car was in both my name and my husband's,therefore we had both our signatures notorized. Took the title to our bank was done free. Where are you going to title this car. NC will require the original owner whose name is on the title to have their name notorized. You are having your signatures notorized so it does not matter which state it is done in.

okay, so really me and the guy that did the trade, like for example doesnt matter if its georgia or nc, as long as we get the title notorize either in GA or NC, i could still register the car correct..!

correct the owner of the vehicle and has their name on the title gets their signature notorized. You then get insurance on the vehicle and off to license plate agency you go. You have to show them you driver's license. Oh yes do not forget the title.

#87 of 120 Considering buying used truck in TX, but live in LA by jsprout73

Can anyone advise me what to expect if I decide to buy a used vehicle in Texas, but I live in Louisiana? I can get better deals/selection in TX, but I want the vehicle to be registered in Louisiana. I'm curious to know what I should expect on sales tax, and any different laws I may not be aware about a transaction such as this. I guess it helps to mention I plan to trade-in and finance the remainder.

#88 of 120 how can I safely get a title? by lotusgirl

Apr 13, 2008 (7:44 am)

hello everyone, I'm trying to buy a car in California (I live in Pennsylvania)
I want to have the car shipped because I can't take the time off of work to drive it back. My credit union is concerned about me getting the title because it is from a private seller with a lein on the car.
 
Are there any legal documents that I can have him sign so I am legally guaranteed the title after I pay him?
 
thanks in advance

It should all be spelled out in the Bill of Sales that you both sign. Of course, I'm wondering what is so special about this car that you are shipping it from 2500 miles away?

Sure, your credit union simply needs to work this out with his lender.
