What every vehicle sale needs
A signed bill of sale
The essential document for any private vehicle sale. Records the price, vehicle description, and both parties' details.
Vehicle identification
VIN for road vehicles, Hull ID for boats. Always verify the ID number matches the registration documents.
Proof of ownership
Current registration or title. The seller must be the registered owner (or have authority to sell).
Lien check
Confirm the vehicle has no outstanding loans. A lien follows the vehicle, not the seller, so the buyer inherits any existing debt.
