What forms do I need to sell my car?

The title to the car is the only form required in all states to complete the sale of a used car. Some states may also require a bill of sale and/or a vehicle history report before the car can be sold.

The amount of information required on the car title varies by state. This information typically includes the signatures of buyer and seller, the date of sale and an odometer reading. In some states, the car title must be officially notarized. Other states may require a sales price, which can be substituted for the bill of sale. Individuals needing specific information about selling a car should contact their local DMV.
