If you lose the Bill of Sale, it may complicate the process of proving ownership. It is advisable to keep multiple copies and store them in a safe place.
While notarization is not typically required for a Bill of Sale in Washington, having it notarized can provide an additional layer of protection and authenticity for the transaction.

Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:
- Individuals who are purchasing a used vehicle in Washington need this form to ensure that the transaction is documented legally. This protects the buyer's rights and provides proof of ownership once the sale is finalized.
- Sellers looking to transfer ownership of their vehicle must utilize this bill of sale to formally record the sale. This document serves as a legal record that can help resolve any disputes that may arise after the transaction.
- For those who are trading in a vehicle at a dealership, having a properly filled out bill of sale can facilitate the process. It ensures that all necessary information is captured and that the dealership has the proper documentation for the sale.
- Situations requiring a vehicle sale between private parties often necessitate this form to comply with state regulations. It ensures that both parties are protected and that the transaction is transparent.
- Buyers who need to register their newly purchased vehicle with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will find this bill of sale essential. It serves as proof of purchase and is often required for registration purposes.
Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for transactions involving vehicles that are not registered in Washington state. Each state has its own requirements, and using this form may not comply with local laws.
- – If the vehicle is being sold as-is without any warranties or guarantees, this form may not capture the necessary disclaimers. In such cases, additional documentation may be needed to clarify the terms of the sale.
- – In situations where the vehicle is being gifted rather than sold, a different form may be more suitable. A gift transfer document would better reflect the nature of the transaction.
- – For vehicles that are being sold for parts or scrap, this bill of sale may not adequately address the specific conditions of such a sale. A specialized form for parts sales should be used instead.
- – If the transaction involves a trade-in at a dealership, the dealership may have its own specific forms that should be used instead of this general bill of sale.
