PA notaries -- need help/motor vehicle title question

I got a call from a young lady in MD, she is acquiring a car from her father who lives in PA (car is titled in PA). He wants to transfer the title to her name. My question is, will is be clear what needs to be notarized on the title, and she says that she only has a copy (not sure if is is a certified copy) that was obtained from the bank. She doesn't have the original, as PA does everything electronically. Does this make sense?

Any advise or insight would be much appreciated.

Photocopies of titles are of no use. Electronic titles are used only when there is a lien against the vehicle. If their is a lien against the vehicle it cannot be transferred. Notaries may not notarize copies of official documents. There is nothing you can do for her.
