Step-by-Step: Filling Out Your Scranton Camper Bill of Sale

  1. 1

    Enter seller and buyer information

    Write full legal names and current addresses exactly as they appear on government-issued IDs. Both buyer and seller must use their full legal names — no nicknames or abbreviations. Errors here cause delays at the PennDOT – Scranton Driver & Vehicle Services.

  2. 2

    Record Camper details and VIN

    Enter the year, make, model, body style, color, and the 17-character VIN exactly as printed on the dashboard (visible through the windshield) or door jamb sticker. The VIN must match the vehicle title exactly.

  3. 3

    Record sale price, date, and payment method

    Write the agreed sale price in both numeral form ($12,500.00) and written form (twelve thousand five hundred dollars). Enter the exact date of the sale — this date triggers the Pennsylvania title transfer requirement. Note payment method: cash, check, or other.

  4. 4

    Both parties sign and date

    Both buyer and seller sign and date the completed form. Sign with blue or black ballpoint ink. Pennsylvania does not require notarization for a private vehicle sale. Print at least two originals — one for each party.

  5. 5

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Signing before the notary if notarization is required — the notary must witness the signature
