It is illegal to sell a vehicle in Virginia without a title. It is incumbent upon the seller to provide one.The Virginia vehicle bill of sale isn't necessary when buying or selling a car, but it is a good idea to create one yourself or use a template. One of the owners must perform a reassignment on the out of state title and complete a VSA17A. In Virginia, a bill of sale is required only if the transferred title doesn't list the car's purchase price. A Virginia motor vehicle bill of sale is used to transfer ownership of a motor vehicle in the State of Virginia. First, contact your DMV and tell them you'd like to apply for a Virginia car title, explaining why you don't have the original title.
