The Idaho Bill of Sale Forms are legal documents that are used to prove that a sale, purchase or trade has been executed between an entity and individual or two private parties. These documents are also capable of proving a change of ownership, describe the sale, purchase and/or trade and any other information needed to protect both the seller and the buyer. Some of these documents are necessary for registration. Some of these documents may require notarization in order to authenticate the information and will not be accepted without notarization. Therefore, with these particular forms, do not provide signature until all parties are gathered before a notary for identification and witness.
