Home Personal & Family Bill of Sale Vehicle North Carolina

Free North Carolina Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale Form

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

Updated May 8, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

A North Carolina motor vehicle bill of sale is a document that records a transaction when someone buys or sells a vehicle. The document includes all the information to identify the buyer, the seller, and the vehicle, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

In North Carolina, you are only required to create a bill of sale when buying from a car dealership. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles Office (DMV) requires a bill of sale and/or the title when performing certain transactions, such as titling a vehicle. Without those documents, you cannot register your vehicle to drive on public roads in the state.

To transfer the ownership of a vehicle in North Carolina, buyers and sellers must sign the document.

If the vehicle is newer than 2011, under 16,000 pounds, and self-propelled, the bill of sale must be accompanied by an Odometer Disclosure Statement (MVR-180).

Vehicle Registration

Registrations should be renewed annually, either online, by mail, or at a DMV location. North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection before owners can renew the vehicle registration. A licensed mechanic will look at the headlights, signals, brakes, steering, windows, and tires.

An emissions inspection is also necessary for vehicles registered in 19 North Carolina counties.

Where to Register Your Vehicle

Owners can register their vehicles in person at a local license plate agency or by mail at the following address:
