What is a Montana 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 Montana, 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 Montana requires it)
Using it with the Montana 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 Montana DMV website before you file, and keep a signed copy.
