Nevada Bill of Sale

Selling or buying a vehicle in Nevada? Here is what Nevada DMV says about the paperwork, and a free generator to make a signed bill of sale in minutes.

Quick answer

Bill of sale in Nevada: Not alone; for multiple transfers. Nevada DMV says a bill of sale alone is not acceptable proof of ownership; the signed title is what counts. A bill of sale is listed as required for multiple ownership transfers.

What Nevada requires for a vehicle sale

  • DMV says a bill of sale by itself is not acceptable proof of ownership for registration.
  • For 2011 and newer vehicles, DMV will not accept a bill of sale with a duplicate title application, or multiple bills of sale.
  • DMV's private party requirements list bills of sale as required for multiple ownership transfers.
  • The seller must provide a paper title for vehicles 2011 and newer and sign it as the name appears.
  • The seller completes the odometer reading on 2011 and newer vehicles; buyers should disclose mileage even if the title shows exempt.
  • Complete change of ownership fee listed is $28.50.
  • A smog check, if required, must be less than 90 days old.

Nevada bill of sale: what to include

Whatever Nevada requires, a signed bill of sale protects both sides. It proves the price, the date and that the car was sold as-is. Include:

  • Seller's and buyer's full names and addresses
  • Year, make, model, color and VIN
  • Odometer reading on the day of sale
  • Sale price and date of sale
  • As-is wording, plus a statement that the seller owns the vehicle and any lien is paid off
  • Signatures and dates for both parties

Sample as-is wording

I, the seller, sell the vehicle described above to the buyer for the price shown, as-is, with no warranty, express or implied. The seller confirms they are the owner and that the odometer reading is correct to the best of their knowledge. This sale is made under the laws of Nevada.
