District of Columbia (DC) Trailer Bill of Sale Template

Registering a new trailer in the District of Columbia (DC) will require a District of Columbia (DC) trailer bill of sale form to protect both the buyer and the seller.

Published March 22, 2023

If you’re selling or buying a trailer in the District of Columbia, consider using a DC trailer bill of sale to ensure a smooth transaction. A bill of sale for a trailer in DC legally documents the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. It contains identifying information for both parties and the trailer itself and is required to transfer the trailer’s title into the new owner’s name. You can write your own trailer bill of sale using our free, downloadable template.

Registering a Trailer in DC

Like any vehicle you plan to operate on public roadways, you need to register your trailer with the DC Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Failing to do so can result in fines and other penalties. Follow regular car titling and registration procedures by visiting a local District of Columbia DMV office. You must show proof of ownership, including a DC bill of sale for trailer.

What Paperwork Is Required To Register a Trailer in DC?

Before you head to the DMV, gather the following documents. All documents must be original. Photocopies or notarized copies won’t be accepted.

  • District of Columbia driver’s license or photo identification card
  • Original trailer title
  • DC trailer bill of sale
  • Proof of insurance
  • Temporary vehicle tag
  • Required fees

Trailer Registration Fees

Trailers in Washington, D.C., fall under special vehicle registrations because they are registered based on weight. You can estimate your registration fees by checking the DMV’s fee list. They are listed under trailer classes by weight.

Fees range from $50 to $925 to register and title a trailer in the District of Columbia. The DMV accepts cash, check, money order, or credit cards. Before registering a vehicle, you must pay any outstanding tickets, bounced check fees, delinquent child support payments, or other debt owed.

Once the fees are paid, the Washington D.C. DMV will issue a tag for the back of your trailer that must be visible whenever it’s in operation.

Title for DC Trailer

When transferring ownership of a trailer in Washington, D.C., the title should be signed over to the new owner. A trailer bill of sale in DC can provide proof that the title has changed hands. The title should include a vehicle identification number (VIN) and other identifying information for the trailer. The title will be mailed to the primary owner within ten business days.

You may need to provide additional information if you acquired the trailer as part of an estate or will agreement.

Insurance

Liability insurance is required for trailers in the District of Columbia and is typically covered under your auto insurance policy. Check with your insurance agent to be sure. Remember that a liability-only policy won’t cover damage to your vehicle, trailer, or its contents. It only covers damage to other motorists’ property. You may choose to add additional coverage for your trailer.

Inspections

Trailers in Washington, D.C., are exempt from inspections.
