Illinois Bill of Sale Forms

Use our Illinois bill of sale forms to legally buy or sell personal property in the state of Illinois, including a car, firearm, or trailer.

Updated April 28, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

An Illinois Bill of Sale is a form used to legally document the sale of personal property in the state of Illinois.

When selling a vehicle, boat, or firearm you should use a bill of sale specifically for that purpose.

A Bill of Sale will protect both the buyer and seller in the event of a legal dispute in Illinois, so both parties should keep a copy of the document for their records.

Illinois Bill of Sale Requirements

Illinois law does not require a vehicle bill of sale, which is a legal document that acts as a receipt and shows when ownership of a car switched hands when it is purchased from an in-state dealer or individual.

However, new Illinois residents who lease vehicles must submit out-of-state titles or other proof of ownership, such as a bill of sale, when they apply for a title and registration.

An Illinois vehicle bill of sale provides legally binding evidence of a motor vehicle purchase between a private buyer and seller.

Illinois requires all vehicle owners to title and register their cars, and the bill of sale provides essential details to streamline that process.

Language Requirements

Your Illinois vehicle bill of sale should be in English for titling and registration purposes.

Notarization

To complete a private car sale, your Illinois vehicle bill of sale does not require notarization. 

Sales Tax

Illinois sales and use taxes on your private vehicle purchase depend on the vehicle’s model year and selling price. [1]  

You must complete the Private Party Vehicle Use Tax Transaction (RUT-50) at the time of title and registration.

  • Application for Vehicle Transaction(s) (VSD 190)
