How a bill of sale is used in Oregon
Practical steps that follow the sale in Oregon — where the title goes, deadlines, and forms — each taken from the state agency or statute.
- Title transfer deadline. After a private sale in Oregon, the buyer has 30 days to apply for a new title and registration. — Oregon DMV 'Titling and Registering Your Vehicle' page; also DMV Form 735-501 (4-25) ↗
- Where to file. Title and registration in Oregon go through the Oregon Department of Transportation, Driver & Motor Vehicle Services (DMV). — Oregon DMV 'Titling and Registering Your Vehicle' page header ↗
- Official form. Oregon publishes its own bill of sale form (Vehicle Bill of Sale, DMV Form 735-501 (rev. 4-25)); the DMV may prefer it for title work, so attach it to this one when in doubt. — Oregon DMV Form 735-501 (4-25) ↗
- 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). Seller must also notify DMV of the sale within 10 days (ORS 803.112). — Oregon DMV 'Buying or Selling a Vehicle' page; Form 735-501 (4-25) ↗
- Liens. A vehicle with an unpaid loan cannot be sold; the lienholder must sign the front of the title or provide a separate signed statement releasing interest. Buyer must submit original lien releases from any previous security interest holders with the title application. — Oregon DMV 'Buying or Selling a Vehicle' page ↗

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.
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 Oregon quitclaim deed page sets out the state’s signing and recording rules.

Does a Oregon bill of sale need to be notarized?
No — Oregon 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: Oregon DMV (Form 735-501).
