How to Write an OK Vehicle Bill of Sale

Oklahoma vehicle bill of sale is a document required for the parties of a private vehicle transaction to validate the deal. The document should be signed by both parties and attached to the registration package to calculate sales tax and the provision of additional legal guarantees.

The following recommendations are written around the free Oklahoma bill of sale form created by our team. However, you can opt for the official form if the local authorities provide it.

Step 1: Indicate the document’s creation date:

  • Home address
  • City
  • State of residence
  • Area code

  • Car’s color
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Step 4: Indicate the purchase price and payment method

Type in the transaction date and state the entire price that has to be paid for the motor vehicle. You also need to indicate the sale method the buyer will use:

  1. Providing the whole amount as a single transaction. The purchaser has the motor vehicle delivered to them and pays off the entire amount within the same day.
  2. Trade-in. When this particular option is chosen, the selling party trades their motor vehicle for the motor vehicle presented by the purchaser. If the buyer’s vehicle is lower in value, they’ll have to even that out with an additional payment. You also need to describe the buyer’s car.
  3. Installments. With this particular method, you must indicate the dates when the purchaser must deliver the initial and the final payments, together with their sums.

The next step is considering the type of payment:

  • Cash
  • Cheque
  • Cashier’s cheque
  • Money order

Finally, check whether the purchase amount includes all applicable taxes.

Step 5: Read the miscellaneous terms

The miscellaneous terms generally say that the purchaser obtains the property in “as-is” condition and is liable for it after the transaction is completed.

Step 6: Place your signature(s) in the appropriate areas

The buyer’s signature is generally not mandatory. Nonetheless, you’re more protected against legal problems if both sides sign the document. You may have one or two individuals attest to the process and sign the form as an additional precaution.

Step 7: Use the help of a notary public

Oklahoma law requires the seller’s assignment of title to be notarized, so sign the acknowledgment on page 4 in front of a notary public, who will complete the county, date, and seal there.[2]

The buyer needs to get the original bill of sale because it’s commonly required during the title change. You could either get a copy and keep it or have two identical forms signed and filled out by both sides as a seller.

Do I Need a Bill of Sale to Transfer a Title in Oklahoma?

Yes. Oklahoma requires a bill of sale to transfer a title, and Service Oklahoma names it among the documents needed when you apply for a new certificate of title.[1] The seller and buyer complete the form together, then submit it with the title application so the state can process the ownership change. Without it, the local Motor License Agency can reject the title transfer.

Is a Bill of Sale Valid If Not Notarized in Oklahoma?

No. For a motor vehicle, Oklahoma law requires the seller’s assignment of title to be sworn before a notary public or another person authorized by law to take acknowledgments.[2] That requirement sits in the same section that describes how the seller endorses the back of the title certificate and delivers it to the buyer at the time of sale.[2] Skipping the notary leaves the assignment incomplete under the statute, even if both parties sign the bill of sale itself.[2]

Beyond notarization and title transfer, Oklahoma law and Service Oklahoma’s title process set a handful of other requirements for a motor vehicle bill of sale. The list below covers what the document and the title package must include, from lien releases to the seller’s identification, each tied to its source so you can verify it yourself.

  • Any lienholder listed on the title must release its lien before the sale can be finalized.[1]
  • The seller must provide a valid driver’s license number or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) as part of the paperwork.[1]
  • The purchase price documentation, whether a purchase contract, this bill of sale, or Form 722-1 Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price, must show the price paid.[1]
  • Service Oklahoma also publishes its own bill of sale, Form 718, though using a template like this one is not mandatory.[1]

A bill of sale does not replace the title assignment. You need both: the bill of sale documents the sale terms, while the endorsed title transfers ownership on Oklahoma’s records. Keep a copy for yourself even after you hand the original to the buyer, since it is the easiest way to prove the sale price and date later, for taxes or for a title dispute.

Registering a Vehicle in Oklahoma

The law of Oklahoma requires that all vehicles with a capacity exceeding ten horsepower are registered annually and titled (except for those officially in salvage or junked status). The rule applies to all motor vehicles, including those not in use. You must obtain vehicle registration in a local Oklahoma Motor License Agency of the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

The list of documents required for the registration of your newly acquired vehicle includes:

  • A filled and notarized vehicle bill of sale
  • Active driver’s license
  • The manufacturer’s certificate of origin (MCO) for new vehicles and a current title transferred by the old owner for used vehicles
  • Active Oklahoma car insurance statement
  • An odometer disclosure statement, for vehicles from model year 2011 or newer[1]
  • VIN inspection statement (for vehicles bought outside Oklahoma)
  • Application for Oklahoma Certificate of Title for a Vehicle (Form 701-6)

A newly acquired vehicle can’t be registered without an Oklahoma title or any evidence of that title’s existence. If you register a leased vehicle, a copy of the lease statement should also be attached.

If the buyer is not an individual but an organization, then submitting the Federal Employer Identification Number is mandatory.

The new owner must also pay title and registration fees before the registration is complete, along with any sales tax due on the purchase. The Oklahoma Tax Commission publishes the current fee schedule and sales tax rate for vehicle purchases, since both change from time to time.

A bill of sale and a title are not the same paper. The bill of sale is the sale record between the two private parties. The title is the state’s record of ownership that the buyer receives once Service Oklahoma processes the application. Keep the bill of sale for your own records even after the title transfer is done. It is your proof of the sale terms and the price paid if a dispute ever comes up.
