Frequently Asked Questions

Does Alabama require a specific bill of sale form?

No. Alabama does not have an official numbered bill of sale form. Where a bill of sale is needed, include the VIN, parties' names and addresses, sale price, odometer reading, and date of sale.

Where do I go to transfer a vehicle title in Alabama?

Title transfers are processed at your county's License Plate Office (also called the License Commissioner's office). Alabama is a county-administered system — there is no central DMV.

Do I need a notary in Alabama?

No. Alabama does not require notarization for a vehicle bill of sale, and the Department of Revenue says the title assignment does not need to be notarized either.
