Minnesota Bill of Sale

Does Minnesota Require a Notarized Bill of Sale?

Notarization Requirement

No, Not Required

Minnesota has no official bill of sale form — ownership can be assigned via the title itself, the registration application, or a free-form bill of sale. No notarization needed for the 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.
