Is a Handwritten Bill of Sale Valid?
Yes, a handwritten bill of sale is generally valid in most states if it includes all required information: parties, vehicle details, VIN, odometer, price, date, and signatures.
However, handwritten documents are more prone to missing required fields, illegible writing, or omitted odometer disclosure language.
