Indiana State Form 44237 — Bill of Sale
Indiana State Form 44237 is the official Bill of Sale published by the Indiana BMV. Contrary to a common claim, it does NOT need to be notarized — the BMV states plainly that no notary or witness is required. It documents the private sale and price; the assigned title (not the bill of sale) is what transfers ownership of a titled vehicle.
