What is a Missouri bill of sale?
A bill of sale is a short document that records the sale of an item from a seller to a buyer. In Missouri, it is most often used for private vehicle sales — but it also works for boats, trailers, firearms, equipment, or any personal property. It proves who sold what, for how much, and on what date, and it typically states the item is sold "as-is."
What to include
- Full names and addresses of the buyer and seller
- A clear description of the item (for a vehicle: year, make, model, VIN, odometer)
- The sale price and the date of sale
- The condition or an "as-is" statement
- Signatures of both parties (and a notary block where Missouri requires it)
Using it with the Missouri 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 Missouri DMV website before you file, and keep a signed copy.
Frequently asked questions
Is a bill of sale required in Missouri?
A bill of sale is strongly recommended for any private sale in Missouri because it documents the transfer, the price, and the "as-is" condition — protecting both buyer and seller. For a vehicle, the Missouri DMV may also require it (or its own form) to transfer the title and register the vehicle. Check current requirements with the Missouri DMV before you file.
Does a Missouri bill of sale need to be notarized?
In most cases Missouri does not require a bill of sale to be notarized, but notarizing it adds an extra layer of proof and some counties or situations may ask for it. When in doubt, confirm with the Missouri DMV.
