Car Bill of Sale Form


A motor vehicle bill is a contract between the seller and buyer that describes the terms of a vehicle's purchase. Once completed, the bill of sale can be used by your local Department of Motor Vehicles to document a change of ownership. To register the vehicle, a copy of this document must be provided by the new owner.

Although a bill of sale is an important document, ownership does not change until the title is transferred. Usually, both the buyer and the seller can visit the DMV to complete the required paperwork. The buyer generally has between 10 and 30 business days after purchasing the car to transfer the title, pay the appropriate fees, and register the vehicle. If you don't do it within the timeframe granted, you might be required to pay additional fees.

A Bill of Sale can be used by friends or family members to prove ownership if they gift items to one another. If a parent gives a used car to their child, they will need a Bill of Sale in order to prove ownership, register the car, and insure it.

A bill of sale for a car should include the make and model of the car, the year it was manufactured, the VIN number, the date of sale, the names and addresses of both the buyer and the seller, and the purchase price. If there is a loan involved in the sale, that information should also be included on the bill of sale.

Is a bill of sale for a car required by law?

While a bill of sale is not required by law in all states, it is highly recommended that you create one whenever you sell or purchase a car. A bill of sale will help to protect both the buyer and the seller in the event that there are any issues with the car later on. If you do not have a bill of sale and something goes wrong, you may have trouble proving that the car was actually sold to the other party.

What should be done if a bill of sale for a car is lost or destroyed?

If a bill of sale for a car is lost or destroyed, the best thing to do is to create a new one. Be sure to include all of the same information that was on the original bill of sale. You may also want to get the new bill of sale notarized so that there is additional proof that the sale took place.
