Updated March 13, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

The vehicle bill of sale in Washington is one of several documents you will need when registering your new vehicle in the state. The form ensures that the sale and purchase of motor vehicles are legal. A bill of sale generally includes a description of the vehicle, the transaction details, and the names of the buyer and seller.

Washington Vehicle Registration

Washington state law mandates that buyers record a transfer of vehicle ownership with the state within 15 days of purchase, and failure to do so can result in fines.

Sellers have only five days from the date of the sale to submit a completed Washington Vehicle Bill of Sale in person to any vehicle licensing office, online, or via mail.

Where to Register Your Vehicle

For first-time registration of vehicles purchased for operation in Washington, you must register them in person at a Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) office location. Renewing vehicle registration is required annually, and you can do this in person or online.

Documents Required by the DMV Office

When purchasing a vehicle directly from a dealership in Washington, the dealership will transfer the vehicle’s title into your name for you. However, for purchases from out-of-state dealers or private individuals, you are responsible for transferring the title by completing and submitting the following to the state:

  • Washington Vehicle Bill of Sale signed by both the buyer and the seller
  • A current vehicle title
  • An Odometer Disclosure form
  • A signed and notarized Vehicle Title Application
  • Registration fee payment

The Odometer Disclosure form is required for vehicles manufactured since 2011 without a current mileage listed on the title. This form can only be obtained in person at a Washington DOL office.

How to Write a Bill of Sale for a Car in Washington

As of January 1, 2023, you have the option to remove your address from the bottom of your registration paperwork for privacy protection.
