Delaware Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
Delaware does not publish an official numbered bill of sale form for vehicle sales. For an ordinary private sale of a Delaware-titled car, the DMV lists no bill of sale — the seller records the buyer, sale date, price, and odometer in the title assignment — but Delaware law (30 Del. C. § 3002(b)) says the purchase price shall be evidenced by a notarized bill of sale, so confirm with the DMV. A written bill of sale is still a useful record. Delaware has no state sales tax, but the DMV charges a motor vehicle document fee on the higher of the sale price or the NADA average trade-in value.

About This Form
Covers: Delaware Bill of Sale (No Official Form)
Agency: Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles
Purpose: Documents a private vehicle sale as a signed record for both parties. If there is no bill of sale and no price on the title, Delaware DMV bases the document fee on the NADA average trade-in value.
When required: Not required for an ordinary private sale of a Delaware-titled car when the title assignment is complete. The buyer must apply for a new title immediately after the purchase and in no case more than 30 days after (a late fee applies), and the vehicle may not be driven until the new title is issued.
