New York Bill of Sale Forms

Use our New York bill of sale to record the sale of any item and protect buyer and seller.

Updated May 19, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

A New York Bill of Sale is a document that lets NY residents transfer a piece of their property to someone else.

Bills of sale are often used to sell personal property like vehicles or firearms legally but can also be used to sell horses, boats, and other goods of value.

The buyer and seller must write their personal information and details about the item on the document.

After purchase, a Bill of Sale is a receipt of the exchange between the buyer and seller.

Requirements

A bill of sale and a title transfer indicated on the original title are required to legally sell a vehicle privately in New York. The document sufficiently records the transaction between the seller and buyer and helps to prevent fraudulent practices.

You may legally draft your vehicle bill of sale, which will be accepted. Notarization is not required by law.

A Bill of Sale must contain the following:

  • The vehicle make, model, and year
  • The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  • The odometer reading
  • The seller’s and buyer’s names, contact information, and signatures
  • The date of the sale
  • The purchase price

While penalty of perjury statements are not pre-printed on New York bills of sale, the state does take perjury on DMV forms seriously.

It is considered second-degree perjury, defined by statute as “swearing falsely, under oath, with the intent to mislead a public servant.” It is regarded as a class E felony and is punishable by up to four years in prison.

Language Requirements

You may draft your own in a language other than English, and New York will permit it as long as the document is filed with a proper English translation.

Number of Copies

The buyer and seller can make photocopies of the bill of sale for their records since the original must be filed with the local New York DMV branch.
