Bill of Sale

A bill of sale is a type of receipt used to transfer the ownership of an item. It typically includes important information about the purchase such as the names of the buyer and seller, contact information, item description, item price, payment methods and warranty details. As a seller or purchaser, you can use a bill of sale for a used car, or for any other personal property such as a laptop or bike.

Use a Bill of Sale Form if:

• You own a motor vehicle or other property (not real estate) that you'd like to sell, and you want to record the details of the purchase for your accounting records.
• You plan to buy an automobile or other items from a private seller and you want to have proof of purchase and a record of the agreement in writing.
