A bill of sale for a motor vehicle should be an original document. Use Legal Line Documents to create your motor vehicle bill of sale.

The following information must be included on a bill of sale for the purchase of a used or new car:

• Vehicle identification number (VIN)
• Model and colour of the car
• Make, year, and power source for the car (e.g. diesel, electric, etc.)
• Condition of the car
• Location of the sale
• Purchase price
• Name, address, and signature of the buyer
• Name, address, and signature of the current owner or the seller (e.g. leasing company)
• Sale or purchase date

What makes a Bill of Sale valid?

For the bill of sale to be valid, it should be signed and dated by both the buyer and the seller. Including all the required information helps protect both parties because it provides proof of the sale price, confirms the date ownership was transferred, and can help resolve disputes if a problem arises in the future.

Use the original

ServiceOntario generally does not accept photocopies or scanned versions of a bill of sale. To register the car, the buyer will need the original document, unless it was specifically viewed and photocopied at a ServiceOntario centre, or faxed directly from the seller.
