- Odometer. Odometer disclosure required if the vehicle is model year 2011 or newer and under 20 years old; both buyer and seller must sign (may be on the title transfer area or a separate disclosure form).

What is a Oregon 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 Oregon, 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."
Firearms: in a number of states, a private firearm sale must be completed through a licensed dealer with a background check — a bill of sale alone does not make the transfer legal there. Check your state’s law before using this template for a firearm.
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 Oregon requires it)
Using it with the Oregon 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 Oregon DMV website before you file, and keep a signed copy.
