Free Arkansas Free Printable Bill of Sale
Arkansas requires a bill of sale to register, but not a specific form: the DFA lists a bill of sale with the VIN, date of sale, purchase amount, and both signatures, and publishes Form 10-313 for it. The buyer must bring the signed bill of sale and signed title to a DFA Revenue Office within 60 days of the sale to pay applicable taxes and complete the title transfer.

Arkansas Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Print or type your bill of sale — include the VIN, year, make, model, odometer reading, sale price, date of sale, and full legal names and addresses of both buyer and seller.
- Execution is both signatures at the transaction; the DFA checklist and Form 10-313 show no notary or witness step.
- Seller signs the back of the title over to the buyer, filling in the buyer's name, address, and odometer reading.
- Produce the form in triplicate, each fully signed — one for the seller's records, one for the buyer's records, and one for the DFA Revenue Office.
- Buyer brings the signed bill of sale, the signed title, and valid ID to a DFA Revenue Office within 60 days.
- Pay the 6.5% state sales tax plus any applicable local taxes at the DFA Revenue Office to complete the title transfer and receive new registration.
Common Pitfalls
- Missing the 60-day deadline to visit the DFA Revenue Office results in a 10% penalty on the sales tax due plus a registration penalty — act promptly after the sale.
- Arkansas taxes are based on the sale price on the bill of sale; under-reporting the price is tax fraud.
- Sellers who do not keep a copy of the bill of sale have no documentation proving they transferred ownership, leaving them exposed to future liability.
- Omitting the odometer disclosure on the title is a federal requirement for vehicles of model year 2011 or newer — an incomplete title will be rejected at the DFA office.
- Local county and city tax rates vary widely in Arkansas; the buyer should confirm the total tax owed before visiting the DFA office to avoid surprises.
Arkansas Free Printable Bill of Sale — FAQs
Does Arkansas require a notarized bill of sale?
Official sources show no notary step: Form 10-313 has no notary block and the DFA checklist asks only for both signatures, though no official source says outright that a notary is not needed. Each party signs when the deal closes.
Should we print duplicate originals?
Print three copies — one each for the parties' files and one to present at the DFA Revenue Office when completing the title transfer.
Is there an official Arkansas bill of sale form?
The DFA publishes Form 10-313 (Vehicle Bill of Sale / Odometer Disclosure Statement). Its registration checklist asks for a bill of sale with the VIN, date of sale, purchase amount, and signatures of seller and buyer rather than naming the form.
What happens if the seller still has a lien on the vehicle?
The lien must be satisfied and the lienholder's name removed from the title before the seller can legally transfer ownership. Buyers should verify the title is clear of liens before completing the purchase.
