Do I need a Bill of Sale to sell my vehicle?

Yes, in almost all jurisdictions, a Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale is legally required to complete the transfer of ownership of a car, truck, or SUV. While the title officially transfers ownership, the Bill of Sale serves as the primary legal receipt protecting both the buyer and the seller.

For the Seller, the Bill of Sale proves the exact date the vehicle left your possession, protecting you from liability for traffic tickets, accidents, or crimes committed by the buyer after the sale. For the Buyer, most state DMVs strictly require a signed Bill of Sale alongside the signed title in order to register the vehicle, pay sales tax, and obtain new license plates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Odometer Disclosure Statement?

Federal law (and most state laws) requires the seller to declare the exact mileage of a motor vehicle upon transfer of ownership. Our generator automatically includes the federally required language to ensure your transaction is fully compliant and prevents odometer fraud liability.

Does this form need to be notarized?

While a Bill of Sale is legally binding with just the buyer and seller's signatures, some states require it to be notarized to be valid for DMV registration. Our form gives you the option to instantly append an official Notary Acknowledgment section if you choose.

What does selling an item "As-Is" mean?

Selling property "As-Is" legally means the buyer is accepting the item in its exact current condition, with all known and unknown faults. Our template explicitly disclaims all implied warranties, meaning the buyer cannot force you to pay for repairs after the sale.

PRIVATE SALE TRANSFER CHECKLIST

Protect yourself from liability after the buyer drives away.

1. Sign the Official Title
Both the Buyer and Seller must sign the official state Certificate of Title. Use a black or blue pen. Do not scribble, cross out, or use white-out on the title, or the DMV may reject it.
2. Sign this Bill of Sale
Ensure both parties sign the generated Bill of Sale document. Give the original to the Buyer and keep a signed copy for your permanent records as proof of the exact date and time the vehicle left your possession.
3. Remove the License Plates
In most states, the license plates belong to the Seller, not the vehicle. Remove them before the buyer leaves. You may need to return them to the DMV or transfer them to your next vehicle. (Check your specific state laws).
4. Remove Toll Transponders
Remove all EZ-Pass, SunPass, FastTrak, or other electronic toll transponders from the windshield so you are not billed for the buyer's future tolls.
5. File a "Notice of Transfer / Release of Liability"
Go online to your state's DMV website immediately after the sale and file a Notice of Transfer. This formally and legally disconnects your name from the vehicle in the state database, protecting you from future parking tickets or crimes committed by the buyer.
6. Cancel Your Auto Insurance
Call your auto insurance provider and remove the vehicle from your policy.
