Whether you are in the business of trading in goods and services, or you merely want to make a private sale more official, having the right Bill of Sale Forms is important. This goes especially for vehicle sales. It is common law in most places for vehicles to have a bill of sale before car titles can be transferred or a vehicle can be registered.
A bill of sale – basically the receipt of the sales transaction – will legally transfer the ownership rights and interests of the vehicle from seller to buyer for an agreed price.

How to Use These Samples
We have included here the most usable, generic bill templates for unspecified vehicles (in case what you are selling is more than just a car).
- The unbranded samples are great templates that you can download, print, and use for official, private transactions right away.
- These can be used for any vehicle that can be registered – car, truck, van, trailer, boat, motorbike, helicopter, you name it. If it can be registered, it can be billed.
- The branded forms can be used as good references for official sales receipts used in actual organizations dealing in motor vehicles, most famously the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), which exists in several US states.

- Note: If you own a scrapyard or are holding a garage sale, selling parts of vehicles would also merit a bill of sale. See the third free sample from the DMV for reference.
How to Write a Vehicle Bill of Sale
