Virginia Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
Virginia does not publish a numbered bill of sale form, and a bill of sale is not legally required — but it is the cleanest proof of price for the Motor Vehicle Sales and Use Tax. Don't confuse it with VSA 17A, which is the Application for Certificate of Title and Registration (the buyer's title form), not a bill of sale. When a declared price looks low, Virginia uses price-certification forms SUT 1 / SUT 1A instead.
