Bill of Sale (Requirements)
- Vehicle information
- Full description of the vehicle
- Sale information
- Actual consideration involved
If the selling price is not included on a title with a notarized assignment, Louisiana requires an original notarized bill of sale or invoice.
How to Register a Vehicle
To register your newly purchased vehicle, advance to an OMV (Office of Motor Vehicles) location of your choice and come supplied with:
- Bill of Sale: Notarized or invoice showing the actual sale price and vehicle description. Not required if the selling price is included on a title with a notarized assignment.
- Current Certificate of Title: Must be assigned before a notary with any lien properly released.
- Odometer Disclosure Statement: Required if the vehicle is not exempt and the back of the title does not include an odometer disclosure
- Photo Identification
- Proof of Liability Insurance Coverage
- UCC-1 Financing Statement or Other Security Agreement: Required if a lien will be recorded.
- Vehicle Application Form (DPSMV 1799)
Out-of-State Purchase
- Notarization rules may differ: If the sale occurs in a state that does not require notarization, the invoice does not have to be notarized.
