A bill of sale is a short legal document that records the transfer of an item — a car, motorcycle, boat, piece of equipment, or any personal property — from a seller to a buyer. It captures who sold what to whom, for how much, and on what date, and serves as the buyer's proof of ownership and the seller's proof that the sale took place.

When you need a bill of sale
You typically need a bill of sale when buying or selling a used vehicle, transferring a boat or trailer, or selling equipment or furniture privately — any time both parties want a written record of the sale. Many DMV and registration offices ask for one to title or register a vehicle, and it protects the seller from liability for what happens after the handover.
What to include
A complete bill of sale lists the seller's and buyer's full names, a description of the item (for a vehicle: the year, make, model, and VIN), the sale price, the date of sale, and whether the item is sold "as is". Both parties sign and date it; some jurisdictions also want it notarized. The form above prompts you for each of these fields.
What "as is" means
Selling an item "as is" means the buyer accepts it in its current condition, with no warranties or guarantees from the seller. Once both parties sign an "as-is" bill of sale, the seller is generally not responsible for defects discovered later. The clause is standard for private used-vehicle and used-equipment sales.
Frequently asked questions
Is a bill of sale legally binding?
Yes. Once both the buyer and seller sign it, a bill of sale is a binding record of the transaction. It documents the agreed price, the item, and the date, and can serve as proof of ownership or as evidence in a dispute.
Do I need a bill of sale to sell a car?
In most places a bill of sale is strongly recommended and often required to register or title a used vehicle. Even where it is not legally mandatory, it protects both sides by recording the sale price, the date, and the "as is" condition.
Does a bill of sale need to be notarized?
It depends on your jurisdiction. Many states and countries accept a signed bill of sale without notarization, but some require it for vehicles. Check your local DMV or registration office — you can still print this document and have it notarized if needed.
