A Car Sale Receipt records the purchase of a vehicle and shows the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. In other words, a receipt is proof of purchase for the transaction.
In the United Kingdom, it’s best practice to use a Car Sale Receipt for private sales where someone sells their used vehicle as is or sold as seen.
Even though its name refers to cars, you can use our Car Sale Receipt template when selling any motor vehicle (e.g., truck, van, motorcycle, etc.).
Yes, a Car Sale Receipt is the best way to prove the legal ownership transfer of a vehicle.
Besides being required, a Car Sale Receipt protects the seller's and buyer's interests and can prevent future disputes and issues. More specifically, a Car Sale Receipt:
The easiest way to create a receipt for a vehicle sale is by using LawDepot’s Car Sale Receipt template. We’ll ask for the following details:
In almost all cases, the buyer shouldn’t accept a Car Sale Receipt with a loan or lien against the vehicle unless the seller intends to accept full responsibility for that outstanding debt.

A seller and buyer should sign two copies of the Car Sale Receipt so they can each keep a record of the transfer of ownership.
Once a private vehicle sale is closed and the parties have signed a Car Sale Receipt, the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) must be notified of the change of ownership. Here’s how the process usually goes:
The process may be slightly different in Northern Ireland. Also, the buyer may need to register the vehicle if it does not have a logbook. However, the DVLA advises not to buy a vehicle without a logbook.
