The MV-912 is New York State's official Vehicle Bill of Sale used whenever a private party sells a motor vehicle, trailer, or boat. The form records the purchase price, vehicle details, and signatures of both seller and buyer, and it is required by the NY Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for title transfers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
