Frequently asked questions

What is a bill of sale used for?

It is a record of a sale: the parties, the vehicle, the date and the price. Buyers often need it as proof of purchase, and some agencies ask for it when you title or register. It supports the transfer; it is not the transfer itself.

Does a bill of sale replace the title?

No. For most titled vehicles the title, signed over by the seller, is what moves ownership. The bill of sale sits beside it. Your state agency's page says which documents it needs.

Does it need to be notarized?

That depends on the state and the vehicle. We only mark a state as requiring it when the state's own page says so; the notary block in the generator is optional and left blank for you to use or not.

Is the sale price required?

Many states use the price to work out sales or use tax, and some agencies compare it with a value table. Enter the real amount paid, and check your state's page for gifts and family transfers.

Should the buyer or the seller keep the paper?

Both. Print two copies, sign both, and keep one each. Photograph the signed copy and the title before the vehicle leaves.

Is anything I type sent or saved?

No. The form runs in your browser. It makes no network requests, stores nothing on your device and records no field values in analytics. Close the tab and it is gone.
