What Is a Minnesota Vehicle Bill of Sale?

The Minnesota Vehicle Bill of Sale is a document filled out to document the car transfer from the seller or transferor, to the buyer or transferee in the state of Minnesota. It is legal proof of the deal that contains a lot of important details, like identification of both parties, their addresses, description of the sold vehicle, date of sale, purchase price, and others. This document is a legally binding agreement that protects both the seller and the buyer from any fraudulent claims (connected to the transfer) that may arise in the future.

How to Sell a Vehicle in Minnesota?

Selling a vehicle in Minnesota is rather simple. The car ownership usually takes place at your local motor vehicle office. If the car you sell is titled in Minnesota, all you need to do is fill out the applicable fields of the title. You must handprint your name, enter the sales price, the date of sale, and sign the document in the assignment area. If your car is ten years old or older, complete the odometer disclosure part. If the car is six years old or more, fill out the damage disclosure area as well. The rest of the required fields must be completed by the buyer. If there is any lien listed on the certificate of title, provide your buyer with the notarized lien release or a lien release card.

If you sell a vehicle not subject to titling, you can assign the ownership in three ways:

  • On Form PS2000-44, Application to Title/Register a Vehicle issued by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety;
  • On a Minnesota Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale (do not forget to provide all important information that may be required during the vehicle registration, like the year, model, date of sale, sales price, vehicle identification number, and other details);
  • On the Minnesota registration card.

To register the newly purchased car, the buyer has to complete Form PS2000-44.

After selling your vehicle you may need to submit a Report of Sale on the official Minnesota DVS website. The report is required in case you donated your car, junked it, or transferred it to an individual. If you sold your vehicle to a dealer, the report is not required. Note that after your car is sold, the license plate and registration taxes will be assigned to the buyer.

Does a Vehicle Bill of Sale Need to Be Notarized in Minnesota?

The parties may notarize their bill of sale if they wish, but it is not required by state laws.
