What Needs to Be on a Bill of Sale for a Car in Virginia?
If your car is no more than five years old and you draw up a contract yourself, you need to complete it with detailed information about the buyer, seller, and the vehicle on sale. The description of the motor vehicle must include the following characteristics: year, make, model and body type, color, as well as the VIN of the car. Indicate the date and the location of the transfer, the price, and other additional terms and conditions to protect yourself from any potential issues. Make it in double, one copy for the seller and the other one for the buyer.
If the car is over five years old, use the Vehicle Price Certification (SUT 1) to confirm the deal.
Does a Vehicle Bill of Sale Have to Be Notarized in Virginia?
Virginia does not require a notary for a Vehicle Bill of Sale but it is generally a good idea to have notarization or witness to a sale in order to confirm the transaction has taken place. This can save any possible trouble that might occur if the seller or buyer contest the transaction at a later date.
