About the bill of sale

A bill of sale records the transfer of an item from a seller to a buyer. It is common for used cars, boats, trailers, and other higher-value items.

This fillable template captures the item, the price, the parties, and the date, then produces a clean PDF both sides can keep.

When you need it

  • Selling or buying a used vehicle privately.
  • Transferring ownership of equipment or a boat.
  • You need proof of a private sale for registration.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bill of sale legally binding?

Once both parties sign, it is a record of the transaction. Some registrations require one. For high-value or complex sales, get advice. This template is a convenience, not legal advice.

Do both parties need a copy?

Yes. The buyer and the seller should each keep a signed copy.

What does as-is mean?

It means the item is sold in its current condition with no warranty. Tick the box if that applies.
