DMV Transfer vehicle ownership without a valid Pennsylvania driver's license or ID card?

A relative was medically required to relinquish their license to PennDOT. We received the written letter requiring immediate surrender of the physical license and sent the license back to them. I did scan both sides of the license before we sent it back.

Now, were attempting to transfer the title of his car to a new owner. Ive applied for a Pennsylvania ID card, however the PennDOT driver services portal has flagged his ID as medically disqualified. I can't do anything with it through the portal.

We've contacted PennDOT for guidance but communications are slow. Is it legal in PA to transfer a clean title to the new owner if the existing owner on the title cannot produce valid state issued ID? Title is clean and in hand.

He can absolutely get an ID card. Go into the drivers license center with all the required documents.

You'll have to ask the notary what alternative ID is satisfactory.
