Pennsylvania car sale requirements
Pennsylvania requires sellers to complete the back of the title as the bill of sale, but many buyers and sellers also use a separate PA DMV Bill of Sale (MV-4ST) for additional documentation. Pennsylvania does not require notarization for a vehicle bill of sale. The buyer must title the vehicle within 20 days of purchase at a Pennsylvania DMV office or authorized messenger/agent. Pennsylvania requires a safety inspection within 10 days of titling if the current inspection sticker has expired.
