Vehicle Bill of Sale in Alaska

A record of a private car, truck or motorcycle sale between a seller and a buyer. Many states transfer ownership through the signed title itself and use a bill of sale as proof of the price and date. Check your state's rules below: some require a specific DMV form or a notary.

What Alaska law says

Selling a vehicle: bill of sale and title	The seller signs the Assignment of Vehicle Title by Owner on the title (including the odometer statement where required) and gives the original title to the buyer at delivery; the seller should also send DMV the Notice of Vehicle Sale for Transfer from the bottom of the title, or record the sale online. Alaska DMV says a bill of sale is not valid for ownership transfer, though a signed bill of sale with the vehicle's serial number and description, both names, the date and both signatures is a good idea. An Alaska resident who buys a vehicle must transfer it into their name by getting an Alaska title within 30 days of the sale. The DMV pages reviewed do not say the title assignment or bill of sale must be notarized. Source: Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles, Selling a Vehicle in Alaska; Titles
