How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Newfoundland and Labrador

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

A Newfoundland and Labrador bill of sale earns its keep in the condition section: the 15% HST is assessed on the higher of price and Red Book value, and on an island where salt roads and ocean air age vehicles beyond their years, the documented rust and wear are what justify real-world island prices against mainland book values. Complete the standard fields, describe the corrosion honestly (frame condition above all), and note the registration history for ferry-crossing mainland imports whose stories ride with them. Service NL processes the transfer.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name (exactly as on the vehicle registration)
  • Current mailing address
  • City, province, postal code
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: Copy your name letter-for-letter from the vehicle's title or registration — a mismatch is the classic reason Service NL Motor Registration Division sends transfers back.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, province, postal code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Whatever name goes here is the name Service NL Motor Registration Division will expect on the buyer's registration — decide it now, not at the counter. For joint purchases, list all owners.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Ford, Toyota, Honda)
  • Model (e.g., F-150, Camry, Civic)
  • Body style (e.g., sedan, pickup, SUV, minivan)
  • Colour
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the dashboard plate or driver's door jamb
  • Odometer reading at time of sale (km)
Tip: Physically read the VIN off the vehicle and reconcile it with the title before writing — a one-character error restarts the whole process.
4

Sale Details & Tax

  • Sale price in Canadian dollars (write both numerals and words — e.g., "$12,500 — Twelve thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, bank draft, e-transfer)
  • Date of sale (day / month / year)
  • Note: buyer owes 15% HST on the sale price at registration — calculated by Service NL Motor Registration Division
Tip: The price written here is the number Service NL Motor Registration Division reads for the 15% HST tax — record the true figure, because assessments compare it against book value.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
  • Sign over the odometer/transfer section on the registration certificate as well
Tip: In Newfoundland and Labrador the parties' own signatures carry the document — no notarial act needed. Keep the signed original with your title paperwork.
6

Buyer Signature & Next Steps

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Both parties keep a signed original — print or write the document twice and sign both. Within 30 days the buyer completes the Service NL Motor Registration Division side with the signed registration certificate and ID.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does condition documentation matter more in NL?
Because the 15% HST reads the higher of price and Red Book value — and island vehicles often genuinely sit below book due to salt-and-sea aging. The written condition record is what makes the honest price the taxed price.
What should mainland imports note?
Their history: a ferry crossing doesn't launder a vehicle's past, so recording where it was registered — and checking the story before the deal — keeps the paperwork honest and the buyer informed.
What are the transfer mechanics?
The signed bill of sale and vehicle permit go to Service NL, with the 15% HST paid on the assessed value at transfer.
