If car title notarized but you lost it before you got to have it transferred to your name do you need the original car owner to get another copy and have it notarized again?

Yes, if you lost the notarized car title, you typically need the original owner to request a duplicate title from the DMV or relevant authority, as they are the legal owner of record. The original owner may need to sign the application for the duplicate title, and it will likely need to be notarized again. Check with your local DMV for specific requirements and procedures.
