Does a Vehicle Bill of Sale Have to Be Notarized in Colorado?

In most cases, the form does not need to be notarized. A Vehicle Bill of Sale requires notarization only if you have purchased a vehicle from another state and are planning to register the vehicle with state authorities.

Colorado Vehicle Bill of Sale Requirements

The Vehicle Bill of Sale is one of the required documents the seller should give to the buyer. Include the following information when filling out the form:

  • Year of the sold vehicle;
  • Type of the car;
  • Make of the car;
  • Vehicle Identification Number;
  • Date of sale (enter the time of sale as well);
  • Sales amount;
  • Signature of the seller and co-seller (if any);
  • Signature of the buyer and co-buyer.

Generally, you are not obliged to notarize the state-issued Bill of Sale. However, if you use a county-specific form, the situation may differ (the county-issued Chaffee County Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale must be certified by a notary public). To avoid any possible issues check the local requirements with the nearest county motor vehicle office.

The properly completed form is equally valuable for both parties. The buyers can use this document as a purchase receipt and proof that they bought this car. It gives the buyer the right to drive the bought vehicle on the highway for 36 hours after the purchase or for the time required to transport it from the place of storage to the buyer's residence if the car was bought from a non-licensed dealer. The buyer can drive the car without registration if it was bought between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m., or on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday. In all these cases, the Vehicle Bill of Sale and proof of insurance must be in the car. The sellers should keep this form as a protection against possible legal issues that may arise if the buyer does not register the obtained vehicle on time.
