Do I Need a Notarized Bill of Sale in Missouri?

Generally, the State of Missouri does not require the parties to the bill of sale to sign the documents in the presence of a notary public. Once the papers that comply with the aforementioned requirements are signed, they become valid and serve as a proof the transaction took place. However, Form 1957 must be notarized to show proof of ownership on major component parts of a rebuilt vehicle or when the Missouri Department of Revenue specifically requests the notarization.
