Receipt for Vehicle Sale

A receipt for a vehicle sale records who paid how much for which vehicle. It is not a title transfer. Fill it in below and download the PDF.

What to put on it

  • Make, model, year and colour of the vehicle
  • The vehicle identification number (VIN), where it is usually recorded
  • The odometer reading at sale, which is commonly recorded
  • Buyer's and seller's names and addresses
  • The price, the date and how it was paid
  • A line saying whether it was sold as is, where the law allows that

A receipt is not a transfer

Changing the owner of a vehicle is done through your local registration office, with its own forms and rules. This receipt is a record of the payment and of what was sold. Check what your local office needs.

Questions

Does this replace a bill of sale?
Not always. In some places a signed record naming the vehicle, the price and both parties works as a bill of sale. Others require a specific form or a notary. Check with your motor vehicle office.
Should both sides sign?
It is a good idea. Each keeps a copy.
