Bill of Sale Template

A free, plain-English bill of sale template for selling an item as-is. Record seller, buyer, item details, price, and signatures, then e-sign in minutes.

A bill of sale is a short written record that documents the transfer of an item from a seller to a buyer for an agreed price. It names both parties, describes exactly what is being sold, states the amount paid and how, and is dated and signed by both people. It is the receipt that proves a private sale actually happened and that ownership has changed hands.

Most everyday bills of sale are sold as-is, meaning the buyer accepts the item in its current condition with no warranties or promises about quality. This template includes a plain as-is clause so both sides know where they stand. For some items, such as a vehicle, your state or province may also require a separate title transfer or its own official form, so a bill of sale is often a complement to, not a replacement for, those filings.

Use this template for private-party sales of cars, boats, trailers, equipment, furniture, electronics, livestock, or almost any tangible item where you want a clear paper trail. Fill in the bracketed placeholders, delete anything that does not apply, and have both the seller and buyer sign. With sign.pink you can e-sign it on a phone in minutes, and every signed copy carries a tamper-evident audit trail showing who signed and when.

When to use it

  • Selling or buying a used vehicle, boat, trailer, or other titled item between private parties
  • Documenting an as-is sale of equipment, electronics, furniture, or other personal property
  • Creating a receipt that proves ownership transferred for a specific price on a specific date
  • Recording the payment method and amount for a cash, check, or transfer sale
  • Keeping a signed record both parties can rely on if a dispute or tax question comes up later

Template FAQ

A bill of sale documents the sale and the agreed terms, but for titled property like a car or boat, ownership usually transfers through the official title and your local motor vehicle agency. Treat the bill of sale as proof of the transaction and check whether your state or province also requires a separate title transfer or its own form.
