How a bill of sale is used in Arizona
Practical steps that follow the sale in Arizona — where the title goes, deadlines, and forms — each taken from the state agency or statute.
- Title transfer deadline. After a private sale in Arizona, the buyer has 15 days to apply for a new title and registration. — A.R.S. § 28-2058(A)(1)(d) and (A)(2)(b); ADOT MVD Buying a Vehicle page ↗
- Where to file. Title and registration in Arizona go through the Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division. — ADOT MVD — Buying a Vehicle ↗
- Official form. Arizona publishes its own bill of sale form (Title Transfer Bill of Sale, Form 38-1306); the DMV may prefer it for title work, so attach it to this one when in doubt. — ADOT MVD document library — Title Transfer Bill of Sale (38-1306) ↗
- Odometer. Seller must deliver an odometer mileage disclosure statement in the form prescribed by the director; exempt: vehicles 10 model years old if MY2010 or older, 20 model years old if MY2011 or newer, GVWR 16,000 lbs or more, non-self-propelled vehicles. — A.R.S. § 28-2058(A)(2)(a), (B) ↗

Using it with the Arizona DMV
For a vehicle, the buyer usually needs the signed bill of sale — with the signed title — to transfer ownership and register the vehicle. Some states provide their own official form or require notarization. Confirm the exact documents on the Arizona DMV website before you file, and keep a signed copy.
Transferring land or a house? A bill of sale doesn’t cover real estate — that takes a deed, signed and recorded in the local land records. For a transfer between family members or into your own LLC, the Arizona quitclaim deed page sets out the state’s signing and recording rules.

Does a Arizona bill of sale need to be notarized?
No — Arizona does not require a bill of sale to be notarized (as of 2026). Notarizing is optional and adds proof, but isn’t needed to transfer the vehicle. Source: Arizona MVD (Form 48-2004).
