Frequently asked questions

Do trailers need a bill of sale?

Where a trailer has no title, the bill of sale is often the main record of the sale. Where it does have a title, it supports it. Your state's page says which applies.

Where is the trailer's VIN or serial number?

Usually on a plate or stamped on the frame near the tongue. Older or homebuilt trailers may have a state-issued number instead.

What is GVWR and do I have to enter it?

It is the maximum loaded weight the maker rates the trailer for, printed on its label. The field is optional; leave it blank if the label is gone.

What if the trailer has no title?

Pick 'No' on the form and keep the signed paper. Ask the state agency what it needs to register a trailer that was sold without one.

Can I use this for a boat trailer?

Yes for the trailer itself. A boat is a separate sale with its own rules.

Should the buyer check anything first?

Match the number on the paper to the number on the trailer, and check the tires, hitch coupler and lights before you pay.
