Is a Bill of Sale Required in West Virginia?

State laws require that a Bill of Sale be completed with the sale of motor vehicles, boats, and trailers.

A West Virginia Generic Bill of Sale will provide information about the items or property being sold along with the owner's name and mailing address, the agreed-upon price, and any additional conditions regarding insurance, warranties, and delivery.

The document must include the following information:

  3. Purchase price. Enter the dollar amount in numbers.

Does a Bill of Sale Have to Be Notarized in West Virginia?

West Virginia does not require a notary for Bills of Sale but it is generally a good idea to have notarization or witness to a sale in order to confirm the transaction has taken place. This can save any possible trouble that might occur if the seller or buyer contest the transaction at a later date.
