Re: [VAL] Re: NY registration

["Myrna Warren" <uncleneal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Reminds me of a story I read years ago in an antique car restoration book.
Seems a fellow had bought an old car from England, and when he went to
register it in NY, the title wasn't notarized.  It had the English
equlivilant to a notary stamp on it, but it didn't say "notary public" so
they wouldn't accept it.  No amount of explaining would suffice.  So he
found a notary in NY that would "notarize" the English signature and took it
back the next day.  The lady at DMV was just as happy as a dead pig in the
sunshine with that.  Never did occur to her to wonder how a notary in NY
could notarize a signature in England, it just had to have the magic words
on it.

Probably one of the reasons that Georgia doesn't require a notary on vehicle
titles any more.  They're just about worthless.  In fact, Georgia doesn't
even require titles on vehicles older than 1986 or trailers that weigh less
than 2,000 pounds.
