A North Dakota motor vehicle bill of sale form is a legal document used to show that a vehicle has been legally sold and purchased. It lists information about the buyer, the seller, and the vehicle and acts as proof that ownership of the vehicle has legitimately changed hands.
Registering a Motor Vehicle
Purchasers in North Dakota need to register their vehicles within five days of taking ownership.
They must also renew every 12 months following the initial registration, pay the associated registration fees, and provide proof of insurance.
