Bill of Sale North Dakota

In North Dakota, a bill of sale specifically from SFN 2888 or SFN 62502 acts as a primary record for the private sale of vehicles, boats, and other personal property. While the state primarily relies on the certificate of title for vehicle transfer, a bill of sale is legally necessary in specific situations, such as when a title is missing or if the vehicle is being registered in North Dakota for the first time. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) also requires this document to verify the purchase price and calculate the 5% excise tax due at the time of registration.
