QUICK HELP! Do I Need To Have My B-O-S Notarized?

General Boats and Motors

I’m lookin’ at my title for my boat I’m supposed to be selling tonight, and see that a notary is supposed to do their part, too.

Problem is – it’ll be 7pm @ the time of transaction. Can’t get a notary at that time. :roll_eyes:

Will this be an issue for them at the DNR when they take the title to get it transfered?

Thanks!

as i have been to dnr on multiple occasions and been sent back home to get some other sort of proper paperwork, i can tell you that the new owner only needs to have signed (NOT notarized) titles (boat and motor) in order to get a new title.

however, if you do not have the title (like the bank has it), you have to get a notarized bill of sale.

the easiest option is the the former, and you can just write out a bill of sale that you both sign that does not need to be notarized.

am aware that the title says you need a notary, but that is not the case, as i got my last boat titled in Feb. with nothing more than signed titles. no bill of sale and nothing notarized.

I’ve got both titles.

I have also typed up a BOS with hull ID and engine serial.

I’ll just fill out the title, skip the notary’s part, and have two BOS signed. They take one, I take one.

Thanks again!
