Here's how to get a car title: Go to your DMV with your bill of sale and any other required identification documentation. Buy a surety bond, which ensures your vehicle is clear of any problems, allowing you to be listed as the new owner. Secure a bonded title. Register your vehicle.
A bill of sale does not have to be digital to be considered valid. Both handwritten and digital formats are generally acceptable, as long as all necessary information is listed and you have the consent of both parties.
The form also documents the sale and is the legal receipt. Keep copies of the bill of sale (FLHSMV recommends having it notarized), certificate of title or other type of transaction document showing it was sold.
Many states don't mandate notarization for bills of sale. States like California, Texas, Florida, Ohio, and New York allow transactions without a notarized document. In these states, a signed bill of sale is often sufficient for legal purposes, provided it includes all required information.
What is included in a bill of sale? Buyer and seller details. You should include their full names, addresses, and contact information. Description of the item being sold. The sale agreement. Location and date of sale. Terms and conditions of the transaction. Buyer's signature and seller's signature.
A bill of sale is a secondary document that can be used to support the title. You won't be able to register the car or sell it (including junking it) without the title being in your name first.
Get a bill of sale from a regulatory agency. Many government agencies, like the Department of Motor Vehicles, for instance, offer bill of sale forms for public use. Using a form directly from a government agency ensures that you have all of the information required for your state.
