The Massachusetts bill of sale form abridges the details of an exchange of property for compensation to a concise written format. The document is duplicated to be made available to both buyer and seller to record the details of the transaction therein. Original signatures are then affixed to both to create a valid contract and can be used to verify the transfer of ownership.

Firearm Registration Forms

Massachusetts requires the formal course of registration solely for guns purchased in another state, guns inherited, or for guns belonging to residents relocating from outside the state. To begin the process, you can visit The Massachusetts Gun Transaction Portal. When procuring a firearm from within the state, it will require an individual to first apply for a License to Carry or a Firearm Identification License, essentially registering the weapon. To legally carry a gun in a concealed or open manner will obligate a resident to apply and gain access to a License to carry. You can do so by visiting the local authorities with the below-listed paperwork:

• A filled and executed Massachusetts Resident LTC/FID/Machine Gun Application (Form LTC/FID-Rev-5-15).
• A certificate of fulfillment of an accepted firearms safety program
• A fingerprint identification card for the applying individual
• Evidence that the applicant actively resides in the state of Massachusetts.
• A current Massachusetts drivers license or ID card
• Payment for the necessary license fees
