Enabling Private Car Sales in All 50 States

Keeping up with state-specific laws and documentation can be tricky, particularly if you’ve moved states recently. PrivateAuto ensures a smooth and legal transaction, compliant with the state you’re in.

PrivateAuto has all the paperwork you need to buy or sell your vehicle in any state. Each state requires different paperwork to legally transfer titles and sell vehicles to a private party. Many states require a bill of sale. Some states have their own specific forms that are required to buy or sell a vehicle in the state.

PrivateAuto manages all these forms and makes them available for both buyers and sellers to electronically sign.

The entire process is accessible only by the buyer and seller, which prevents the risk of identity theft.
