Strictly Street Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 If you need a title transfer typically you went to a Notary and had the title certified, signatures, ID etc. But if it was a weekend or after hours this could be a real pain in the neck. After a recent experience with this and Notary offices being shut down due to the Covid thing I did a little research and found a better way. https://www.ohiosos.gov/notary/information/#electronic In Ohio you can do this on the internet 24/7 now. Who knew? Quote From the State of Ohio Page: How to Properly Perform a Notarial Act Personal Appearance The signer must appear before you during the notarial act. This must occur in person for a traditional notarial act or an electronic notarial act, but personal appearance can occur through a real-time audio and video conferencing system if the notary public is authorized to perform online notarizations. It's not clear if you need a scanner to upload the title to them or if a cell phone will work. Quote Fee A notary public may charge a fee of $5.00 per act for any notarial act that is not an online notarization. The fee can be up to $25 for an online notarization. Note: fees may not be charged per signature, but instead per notarial act. The law permits a reasonable travel fee as agreed upon by the notary public and the signer prior to the act. No additional fees may be charged in connection to the notarization. So it may cost a bit more but it can be done anytime. I haven't tried this but it's a nice option. A quick search finds that this is authorized in the following counties: Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Athens, Auglaize, Belmont, Brown, Butler, Carroll, Champaign, Clark, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Darke, Defiance, Delaware, Erie, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Gallia, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hancock, Hardin, Harrison, Henry, Highland, Hocking, Holmes, Huron, Jackson, Jefferson, Knox, Lake, Lawrence, Licking, Logan, Lorain, Lucas, Madison, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Ottawa, Paulding, Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Portage, Preble, Putnam, Richland, Ross, Sandusky, Scioto, Seneca, Shelby, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Union, VanWert, Vinton, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Williams, and Wood One service I found states: Quote Upload Your Document You can do this through most web browsers, including smartphones and tablets. Interesting... If anybody tries this please reply to this thread so we all know how it works out for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
