An Alaska vehicle bill of sale form is a document that transfers legal ownership of a vehicle from the old owner (the seller) to the new owner (the buyer) in the state of Alaska.
It is used as proof of vehicle ownership and can be referred to in disputes where the ownership of a vehicle is in question.
Both the buyer and the seller are required to sign the document.
If the vehicle is newer than 2011, with an unladen weight of fewer than 12,000 pounds, and self-propelled, you must also fill out an Odometer Disclosure form—Form 839.
Vehicle Registration
All vehicles in Alaska need proper registration. You must apply for the initial vehicle registration within ten days of purchase. This registration is valid for two years.
Where to Register Your Vehicle
You must register in person at a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office if you live within 50 miles of one.
If you live in a remote area of Alaska and are not within 50 miles of a DMV, you can complete the registration online. You must fill out the Application for Title and Registration (Form 812) and follow the instructions on the website. Once you collect all the required documents, the documents and the form can be mailed to the DMV.
After you file the initial registration, you can renew your registration with the online renewal system.
