What to know about bill of sale only sales in Puerto Rico
If you are selling a vehicle that was never titled (common for pre-1975 vehicles in some states), a bill of sale is the primary ownership document. The buyer must present the bill of sale to the DMV to apply for an original title. Ensure the bill of sale contains full VIN, make, model, year, and both party signatures with dates.
What to include in your bill of sale
- Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
- Scooter make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any bill of sale only-specific disclosures required in Puerto Rico.
Seller guidance
If you are selling a vehicle that was never titled (common for pre-1975 vehicles in some states), a bill of sale is the primary ownership document. The buyer must present the bill of sale to the DMV to apply for an original title. Ensure the bill of sale contains full VIN, make, model, year, and both party signatures with dates.
Buyer guidance
A bill of sale alone does not guarantee you can register the vehicle. Check with your state DMV to confirm the process for obtaining an original title using a bill of sale. You may need a VIN inspection, a surety bond, or a court order depending on the vehicle's history and your state's rules.
Legal considerations
Vehicles manufactured before 1975 were not required to be federally titled, and some never entered a state title system. States have varying procedures for issuing an original title for un-titled vehicles (e.g., California: Reg 343 form; Texas: Form VTR-141). The NMVTIS may not have records for older un-titled vehicles, so ownership chain documentation is critical.
Checklist for this transaction
- 1Document the full ownership chain (prior bills of sale if available)
- 2Include complete vehicle description: VIN, year, make, model, color, engine number
- 3Both parties sign and date the bill of sale in front of a notary if possible
- 4Research your state's original title application process for un-titled vehicles
