Step-by-Step: Filling Out Your Warren Dirt Bike 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 MI Secretary of State – Warren Office.

  2. 2

    Record Dirt Bike 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 Michigan 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. Michigan does not require notarization. Print at least two originals — one for each party.
