How to fill out a Nevada utv bill of sale
Total time: 5–10 minutes
You will need:
- Signed vehicle title
- Government-issued ID for both parties
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Enter seller and buyer names
Write the full legal names and current addresses of both the seller and buyer exactly as they appear on their government-issued IDs. Errors here can delay the Nevada DMV title transfer.
Add vehicle details
Record the utv's year, make, model, and color. Double-check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from the dashboard or door jamb.
Record the sale price and date
Write the agreed sale price in both numerals and words to prevent disputes. Enter the exact date the ownership changes hands — this date triggers the Nevada title transfer deadline.
Disclose the odometer reading
Write the exact mileage shown on the odometer at the time of sale. Federal law (49 CFR Part 580) requires this disclosure for most motor vehicles under 20 years old — omitting it can void the sale.
Both parties sign the bill of sale
Seller and buyer both sign and date the completed form. Each party keeps a signed original. Nevada may require the signed bill of sale at the DMV to complete the title transfer.
Download and print a copy for each party
Print at least two copies — one for the buyer to submit to the DMV and one for the seller to keep as proof the vehicle was sold. Store your copy for at least three years.
