Question 1

Is a handwritten bill of sale legit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if it has both parties' names, the item, the price, the date, and both signatures. A typed one is easier to read and less easy to dispute.

Question 2

How do I make my own bill of sale?

Accepted Answer

Fill in the seller, buyer, item details, price, and date. Both parties sign. Solda does this in about two minutes and outputs a clean PDF.

Question 3

Do I need a notarized bill of sale?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your state. Some states require a notarized bill of sale for certain vehicle sales; most don't. Check with your local DMV or county clerk before signing. Solda's template includes an optional witness/notary line so it works either way.

Question 4

Do I need a notary?

Accepted Answer

Usually no. A few states require notarization for certain vehicle sales — check your DMV. There's an optional witness/notary line in the form.

Question 5

What does 'as-is' mean?

Accepted Answer

The buyer accepts the item in its current condition, with no warranty. Standard for private sales.

Question 6

Do you store my information?

Accepted Answer

No account is needed for your first document. Nothing is saved unless you create an account for history and saved profiles.

Question 7

Is this legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Solda gives you a template. For legal questions, talk to a lawyer.
