Frequently Asked Questions

Does Alabama require a specific bill of sale form?
No. Alabama does not have an official numbered bill of sale form. Any written document that includes the VIN, parties' names, sale price, odometer reading, and date of sale is accepted at the county license plate office.
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?
Alabama does not require notarization for a standard vehicle bill of sale, but some county offices may request it. Notarization is inexpensive and removes any doubt.
