Free New Jersey Vehicle Bill of Sale Template

Use our New Jersey Vehicle Bill of Sale to record the sale of a vehicle and protect both buyer and seller.

Updated March 15, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

A New Jersey vehicle bill of sale form is a document used to transfer vehicles such as cars, trucks, RVs, and boats between buyers and sellers. A bill of sale form describes the vehicle, provides contact information for both buyer and seller, and gives the purchase price and date.

In New Jersey, you are required to have a bill of sale for vehicle sales unless the purchase price and sale date are included in the title. Nonetheless, it is a good idea for parties to have a bill of sale as proof of purchase.

New Jersey Vehicle Registration

Vehicles must be registered within ten days of purchase. If you buy from a dealer, they will handle the paperwork. If you made your purchase from a private seller, you will need to do the paperwork yourself.

New Jersey requires all vehicle transfers to be made through the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) office. These transfers cannot be handled via mail because the owner must surrender the license plates in person.

Vehicle transfers in New Jersey are subject to sales tax unless the transfer is a gift.

Where to Register Your Vehicle

Buyers must make an appointment to register their new vehicle. Walk-ins are not accepted. Appointments can be made on the New Jersey MVC website.

Documents Required by the MVC Office

When you come to your appointment, be sure you have all your documents ready.

  • Title. The title must be signed by the seller, and include the odometer reading, purchase price and date, and the buyer’s name, address, signature, and driver’s license number.
  • Driver’s license or ID
  • Proof of New Jersey insurance
  • Bill of sale, if the purchase price was not included on the title
  • Form OS/SS-2 (Odometer Disclosure Statement) if the odometer reading was not included in the title.

Vehicles purchased at auction or from a state which does not issue titles need to follow a different procedure. Other documents may be required.

How to Write a Bill of Sale for a Car in New Jersey

When writing a bill of sale for vehicles in New Jersey, follow these steps.

Step 1: Use a Bill of Sale Template

Download our New Jersey vehicle bill of sale or create your own. New Jersey does not have a standard vehicle bill of sale.

Step 2: Identify the Buyer, the Seller and the Purchase Details

Enter the names of the seller and buyer. Enter the amount and date of purchase. If the transfer is a gift, write “$0.00” or “gift” for the amount.

Step 3: Include Vehicle Information

Complete the vehicle description section. Include:

  • Make
  • Model
  • Color
  • VIN
  • Odometer reading

Step 4: Add the Odometer Reading

Fill out the odometer certification. If this section is not completed, New Jersey requires a separate odometer disclosure statement to be submitted with the registration application.

Step 5: Sign and Add in Contact Information

Complete both the seller’s information and the buyer’s. Include the name, address, and contact information for each.

Both parties must sign and date the document. The bill of sale can be notarized if the parties wish, but it is not necessary.
