Ohio bill of sale form: fill in, print and sign

A Ohio 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. Ohio has no required bill of sale form; the BMV treats a bill of sale as supporting proof. The transfer is made on the title assignment or, for an electronic title, on form BMV 3770.

Is a bill of sale required in Ohio?

Yes for the title: the seller's signature on the assignment on the back of a paper title, or on form BMV 3770 for an electronic title, must be notarized.

How to transfer a vehicle in Ohio

The seller completes the assignment of ownership on the back of the Ohio title, including the odometer reading, and signs in front of a notary.
For an electronic title, the seller completes and signs page 1 of BMV 3770 before a notary and gives both pages to the buyer.
Seller and buyer sign a bill of sale as their record.
The buyer takes the notarized title or BMV 3770 to a Clerk of Courts title office within 30 days. Photocopies of a title are not accepted.

Ohio also offers an online title portal for private person to private person sales, which still follows the same rules.
