How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Alaska

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

Alaska's fill-out is built for distance: outside Anchorage and Fairbanks, title transfers routinely travel BY MAIL to the DMV — Form V1 (Vehicle Transaction Application) plus the signed-over title and your bill of sale in one envelope — which means everything must be complete and correct before it's sealed, because a bounced packet costs weeks in rural Alaska. Complete a private bill of sale (no official form required): parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, true price, date, both signatures, no notary. There's no statewide sales tax (and Anchorage adds none), though a few boroughs like Juneau and Kodiak levy local taxes that generally target business sales, not private transfers. The buyer has 30 days to title.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: The name here must be the name on the ownership papers; nicknames and initials stall the paperwork at the Alaska DMV.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: This name follows the vehicle to the DMV — the buyer's ID and this line need to agree.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Ford, Toyota)
  • Model (e.g., F-150, Camry)
  • Body style (e.g., sedan, pickup, SUV)
  • Color
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the dashboard or door jamb
  • Odometer reading at time of sale
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

  • Sale price in US dollars (write out both numerals and words — e.g., "$8,500 — Eight thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, check, electronic transfer)
  • Date of sale (month / day / year)
Tip: Alaska has no state sales tax on vehicle sales, so no tax calculation is needed.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Alaska asks for no notary on this document — the two signatures complete it. Keep a copy of the signed page for several years.
6

Buyer Signature

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the mail-in transfer work in Alaska?
The buyer mails Form V1, the seller-signed title, and the bill of sale to the Alaska DMV — standard practice for Fairbanks, the Mat-Su, and remote communities. Triple-check signatures, VIN, and odometer before sealing: a returned packet doubles the wait.
Is any tax due on a private vehicle sale in Alaska?
No state sales tax exists, and Anchorage levies no local vehicle tax. Boroughs with local sales taxes (Juneau, Kodiak, Sitka, Ketchikan) generally apply them to business retail sales — confirm with the borough clerk if you're in a taxing jurisdiction, but most private sales are entirely tax-free.
What form does the buyer file?
Form V1 (Vehicle Transaction Application) with the signed title and bill of sale, within 30 days — in person at a DMV office or by mail.
Does Alaska require notarization?
No — ordinary signatures complete the transfer paperwork. For mail-in packets between distant parties, notarizing adds a layer of signature security worth the small fee.
