Frequently asked questions

Is a bill of sale legally required?

Requirements vary by state and asset type. Most DMVs require a bill of sale for vehicle transfers. Even when not required, it protects both buyer and seller by documenting the agreed price and condition.

Can a bill of sale be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are valid for bills of sale under ESIGN Act and UETA. SignOwl provides a tamper-proof audit trail so both parties have verifiable proof of the transaction.

Does a bill of sale need to be notarized?

Most states don't require notarization for bills of sale. Some states require it for vehicles above a certain value. Check your state's requirements — SignOwl handles the signature collection regardless.
