Step-by-Step: Filling Out Your Norwalk UTV 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 CT DMV – Norwalk Branch.

  2. 2

    Record UTV 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. Also enter the current odometer reading — federal law mandates accurate odometer disclosure for vehicles under 10 model years old.

  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 Connecticut 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. Connecticut does not require notarization for private vehicle sales. Print at least two originals — one for each party.

  5. 5

    Submit to the CT DMV – Norwalk Branch

    Bring the signed bill of sale, the vehicle title (signed over on the back), and a valid ID to: 540 Main Ave, Norwalk, CT 06851. Hours: Tue–Fri 7:45 AM–4:00 PM; Sat 8:00 AM–12:30 PM. Phone: (860) 263-5700. You'll pay the title transfer fee of $25.00 and sales tax at 6.35%.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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

  • Leaving the sale price blank or writing "gift" if money changed hands — this triggers audit risk
  • Skipping odometer disclosure — federal law requires it for vehicles under 10 years old
  • Using correction fluid to fix mistakes — always initial handwritten corrections instead
  • Not keeping a copy — both buyer and seller need a signed original
