Massachusetts bill of sale for a vehicle

For buyers and sellers who want a written record of a private car sale in Massachusetts.

A Massachusetts bill of sale is not something we have confirmed yet. We cannot say whether the RMV site includes an official form. The title is what transfers the car: the seller signs the assignment on it, with the odometer reading and the warranty of title.

Does Massachusetts have an official bill of sale form?

We have not confirmed an official Massachusetts bill of sale form for a private car sale. Ask the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles which form to use.
