Because the state of Washington requires a bill of sale to register a vehicle or vessel, you should fill out the document in triplicate: one each for the buyer, the seller, and the DOL. Otherwise, one copy for the buyer and one copy for the seller should be sufficient.
Here's how to get a car title: Go to your DMV with your bill of sale and any other required identification documentation. Buy a surety bond, which ensures your vehicle is clear of any problems, allowing you to be listed as the new owner. Secure a bonded title. Register your vehicle.
Washington requires a bill of sale to transfer a car title and register the vehicle after it's been bought and sold. You can use the state-provided form or create your own. You don't need to have the form notarized.
You can ask DOL to issue a three-year registration without title. This converts to full ownership (giving you the title) if after three years nobody contests (challenges) the vehicle's ownership. You can file a bond with DOL for a three-year period and get a bonded title.
Take it into a licensing office and they will get it done, as long as the required info is on the BOS and the seller of the vehicle was the registered owner. Otherwise, you are doing what is called "title in doubt" registration that lasts for 3 years before they issue you a new title in your name.
What Does "As Is" Mean in a Bill of Sale DMV Form? "As Is" means that the seller is not making any promises or assurances about the condition or quality of the item being sold. The buyer accepts the item in its current state, with all its faults and defects.
You may sell the vehicle within Washington using a notarized bill of sale or release of interest, and the 3 year timer will not reset for the new owner. At the end of the 3 year period, or earlier if the appropriate release is acquired, the current owner may apply for a clear title from any vehicle licensing office.
How to Sell a Car in Washington Step 1: Allow the Buyer to Have the Car Inspected by a Third Party. Step 2: Clean Out the Vehicle. Step 3: Remove the License Plates. Step 4: Complete a Bill of Sale.
