How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Northern Territory

A step-by-step guide to every field on a Northern Territory vehicle bill of sale — with a free filled-in example you can download instantly.

An NT bill of sale gets filled out like it can never be amended — because practically, it can't: with parties often hundreds of kilometres apart after handover, the document completed at the handshake is the only version that will ever exist. Complete everything in one sitting: identifiers copied from the compliance plate, odometer with a credibility note (outback kilometres age vehicles beyond their readings), the Safety Inspection Certificate's status (the MVR transfer requires it), true price for the $3-per-$100 duty on the higher of price and market value, and both signatures with copies exchanged before anyone drives away.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name (exactly as on the vehicle registration papers)
  • Current residential address
  • Suburb, state, postcode
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: The recorded owner's name is the only version that works here; anything else earns a correction cycle at MVRS NT.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current residential address
  • Suburb, state, postcode
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Driver's licence number (recommended for identity verification)
Tip: The buyer should write the name they'll register under — the Northern Territory paperwork downstream must match this line. Multiple buyers each appear by name.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Toyota, Ford, Holden)
  • Model (e.g., HiLux, Ranger, Commodore)
  • Body type (e.g., sedan, ute, SUV, wagon)
  • Colour
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the compliance plate or door jamb
  • Engine number (if known — on the engine block)
  • Odometer reading at time of sale (km)
  • Registration plate number and expiry
Tip: Check every character of the VIN against both the dashboard plate and the ownership document; close enough isn't a concept the registry recognizes. The ~$2 PPSR lookup completes the check.
4

Sale Price & Stamp Duty Note

  • Sale price in Australian dollars (write both numerals and words — e.g., "$18,500 — Eighteen thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, bank cheque, bank transfer)
  • Date of sale (day / month / year)
  • Note: Stamp duty in Northern Territory is $3 per $100 — paid by the buyer at MVRS NT
  • Transfer fee: approximately $18
Tip: Enter what actually changed hands — MVRS NT computes stamp duty from it and challenges figures the market contradicts.
5

Seller Signature & Registration Transfer

  • Seller's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
  • Sign the transfer of registration section on the back of the registration certificate
Tip: No pre-sale inspection applies in Northern Territory; disclose known faults, let the buyer arrange their own check, and complete the transfer papers without delay.
6

Buyer Signature & Next Steps

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Make it two signed originals so both sides hold equal evidence; copies made later never carry the same weight. Then the buyer heads to MVRS NT with rego papers, ID, and insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why complete NT paperwork entirely at handover?
Distance: a missing signature or copy between Katherine and Alice Springs is a day's drive to fix. Treat the handover as the single paperwork session — all fields, all signatures, all copies.
Where does the SIC fit on the document?
Record its status explicitly — the Safety Inspection Certificate is required for the MVR registration transfer, and a vehicle without a current one is effectively a project sale needing transport.
How is NT duty calculated?
$3 per $100 of the higher of sale price and market value ($750 on a $25,000 vehicle), paid with the MVR transfer within 14 days.
