FAQ
Questions, answered
Is a bill of sale legally required?
It depends on the province. Alberta requires one to transfer ownership; Ontario uses the bill of sale section of the UVIP. Each kit shows your province's rule with a link to the official source.
Is VehicleHandoff a government service?
No. We prepare your paperwork. Official filings happen with ServiceOntario, ICBC / Autoplan brokers, Alberta registry agents and other provincial offices.
Does an e-signed bill of sale count?
Some registries require original signatures (BC's APV9T does). Your kit tells you when to print and sign on paper.
Can you confirm a vehicle is lien-free?
No. We link to the official provincial lien search so the buyer can run it before paying.
What does it cost?
A basic bill of sale is free. Snowmobile, ATV and trailer kits are C$19, car and truck kits are C$29, and RV kits are C$39, plus GST/HST.
Is this legal advice?
No. VehicleHandoff is an organizing tool based on official public guidance.
