Choose a document template

A bill of sale records a private sale between individuals — furniture, electronics, a bicycle, equipment. It protects both sides: the buyer gets proof of purchase and ownership, the seller gets proof that the item was sold as-is and paid for.

Describe the item precisely in the 'Details' field: brand, model, serial number, condition, included accessories. For vehicles, note that many countries require an official transfer form for registration — this template can complement it but not replace it.

Frequently asked questions

Does 'sold as-is' fully protect the seller?

It means the buyer accepts the item in its current condition, visible defects included. It does not cover defects deliberately concealed by the seller — describe the item's condition honestly.

Is a written bill of sale required between individuals?

For everyday items, usually not — but a signed writing is the only solid evidence if a dispute arises about the price, the item's condition or the payment. Make two signed copies, one for each party.
