Missouri Form 1957 — Bill of Sale

Missouri uses two forms that are constantly confused online: Form 1957 is the Department of Revenue's official Bill of Sale, and Form 108 is the Application for Missouri Title and License — the document the buyer files to actually get the title. Many sites (this page once included) label "DOR-108" a bill of sale; it is not. In a private sale the buyer brings both to a Missouri license office: the bill of sale documenting the deal, and Form 108 applying for the new title.

About Form 1957

Official name: Missouri Bill of Sale (Form 1957) — and Form 108 Explained

Issued by: Missouri Department of Revenue — Motor Vehicle Bureau

Purpose: Form 1957 documents the private sale and establishes the price for Missouri's 4.225% state sales tax plus local taxes (calculated less any trade-in allowance). Form 108 is the buyer's application for the new Missouri title and license.

When required: Buyers must apply for a Missouri title within 30 days of purchase — a $25 penalty applies on day 31 and grows $25 every 30 days to a $200 cap. Form 1957 or an equivalent written bill of sale accompanies the signed title and Form 108.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Missouri Form 1957 required?
It is the official bill of sale template; any written bill of sale with the same fields is also accepted at DOR license offices. The buyer files it together with the signed-over title and Form 108 (Application for Missouri Title and License).
Is Form 108 a bill of sale?
No — that's a widespread mix-up. Form 108 is the Application for Missouri Title and License. The bill of sale is Form 1957. The seller can also file Form 5049 (Notice of Sale) to record that the vehicle changed hands.
What is Missouri's sales tax on vehicle purchases?
Missouri charges 4.225% state sales tax plus local taxes on the purchase price less any trade-in allowance — combined totals commonly run about 7%–10% depending on the buyer's city and county. It is paid at the license office when titling, along with the $8.50 title fee and $9 processing fee.
Does the Missouri title assignment need a notary?
No. The standard title assignment takes ordinary signatures. Notarization is reserved for specific documents such as the Form 4809 lien release.
