Why do I need a bill of sale?
For purposes of selling your vehicle privately, you can draft your own bill of sale as long as it contains the following information:
- Vehicle information (make, year, model, vehicle identification number, and an odometer reading)
- Buyer information (name, address, and signature)
- Seller information (name, address, and signature)
- Selling price and date sold
How can I get a copy of a bill of sale?
Obtaining a copy of the original bill of sale:
- Complete a Title Copy Records Request (Form J-23T)
- Fill in sections 2 and 3 or 4 of the form and the requester section, including your telephone number.
- Return the form, along with copies of two forms of identification as stated on the form.
- Enclose the required $20 fee.
Please note:
Please include a copy of the original registration showing the date of issue to begin the search. You will receive a copy of the bill of sale you requested in approximately four to six weeks.
To register a non-titled vehicle
the registration from the last owner and a Supplemental Assignment of Ownership (form Q-1) or the Bill of Sale (form H-31) is needed.
