A North Carolina bill of sale records a transaction involving personal property sold between a seller and a buyer. All bills of sale must be completed together by the parties, including their names, contact information, and signatures. If they wish to further prove the authenticity of the document, they may sign in the presence of a notary public. In addition to contact information, the seller must include details of the property being transferred. If a car, boat, or firearm is being sold, the accompanying bill of sale will have the fields necessary to accurately describe the property in question. For all other personal property transactions, the general bill of sale can be used, and a detailed description of the property can be provided.
