Massachusetts Bill of Sale Forms

Use our Bill of Sale to record the sale of any item and protect both buyer and seller in Massachusetts.

Updated May 22, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

A Massachusetts bill of sale form is a legal document used to record the sale of personal items in the state of Massachusetts.

In Massachusetts, some bills of sale must be notarized before they can be signed by both parties and made official.

Bill of Sale Requirements

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) does not specifically require a bill of sale for vehicles unless registering a vehicle that is exempt from titling. In that case, a bill of sale and a previous registration is required to register the vehicle.

A bill of sale is mandatory to sell, purchase, or register a vessel.

Language Requirements

Massachusetts does not provide bills of sale or any other forms in other languages, but the RMV does provide interpreters to translate documents and the parties’ answers to questions asked on forms. Any translation must be accompanied by a Translation Certification Format form to be considered valid.

Number of Copies

Since a bill of sale is not always required in vehicle sales transactions, only two copies, one for the buyer and one for the seller, should do. However, in-vessel transactions and vehicle transactions where bills of sale are necessary, an extra copy must be filed with the Boat, ATV, and Snowmobile Registration Bureau or the RMV.
