Colorado Bill of Sale

Does Colorado Require a Notarized Bill of Sale?

Notarization Requirement

No, Not Required

No notary needed. A separate bill of sale isn't strictly required if the sale date and price are already filled in on the back of the title.

State form: DR 2173 (Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale)

Notarized bill of sale vs. notarized title

A lot of the confusion around state notary rules comes from mixing up two different documents: the bill of sale itself, and the signature on the certificate-of-title assignment. Some states require one but not the other. The requirement above is specific to the bill of sale — always double-check which document a notary requirement actually applies to before you sign.
