Does a Vehicle Bill of Sale Have to Be Notarized in Idaho?
Idaho does not require a notary public's certification for vehicle sales but it can be a good idea to have a notary or witness to the sale in order to confirm the transaction has taken place. This can save any potential trouble which might occur should the seller or buyer contest the transaction at a later point in time.
