North Carolina bill of sale form: fill in, print and sign

A North Carolina bill of sale records that a seller sold a vehicle, boat or other item to a buyer for a stated price on a stated date. North Carolina transfers ownership on the title and the Title Application (MVR-1). For a private purchase the DMV also lists the Odometer Disclosure Statement (MVR-180) and the Damage Disclosure Statement (MVR-181).

Is a bill of sale required in North Carolina?

Yes for the title: the back of a North Carolina title and the MVR-1 must be notarized. The bill of sale itself does not need a notary.
