Wisconsin MV1 — Bill of Sale
Wisconsin Form MV1 is the Application for Title and Registration — the buyer's title form, not a bill of sale. Wisconsin does not require a bill of sale at all (WisDOT calls its bill of sale "provided for your convenience, not a required form"), though a sample lives in Form MV2928. A written bill of sale still documents the price and odometer.
