Bill of Sale Required for Transferring Vehicle Titles Beginning January 1, 2020

Effective January 1, 2020, the Harrison County Treasurer’s Office started requiring customers to provide a bill of sale when transferring titles for all motor vehicles, campers and trailers between private parties.  A bill of sale or purchase agreement was already required for vehicles purchased from a dealership. The Bill of Sale must include the seller’s name, make of the vehicle, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), buyer’s name, date of sale, purchase price and signature of seller and buyer. Click here for a sample bill of sale form. 

All Iowans with current licenses or ID's, click here for information on obtaining a REAL ID before May 3, 2025

What is a REAL ID?

Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses.” The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards. States have made considerable progress in meeting this key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission and every state has a more secure driver's license today than before the passage of the Act.

HOW TO GET A REAL ID GOLD STAR ON YOUR LICENSE OR ID

• Official birth certificate (Not the one with baby footprints)
• Valid U.S. passport
