What is a Bill of Sale?
A bill of sale is a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of goods or property from a seller to a buyer. It includes details about the item, parties, and sale price.
When do you need one?
You need a bill of sale when selling or buying a vehicle, boat, or other valuable personal property. It protects both parties and may be required for title transfer or registration.
Does it need to be notarized?
Notarization is recommended for bills of sale, especially for vehicles and high-value items. Some states and DMVs require notarization for title transfer.
Can you notarize a Bill of Sale online in your state?
Remote online notarization is authorized in 45 states, and a notarization performed under a state’s RON law is generally recognized in the others — so signers in states without their own RON statute can usually still notarize online with a commissioned notary elsewhere. Whether this document is eligible, and whether it needs witnesses, depends on your state and on the party who will accept it. Select your state for its specific rules.
