For convenience, a bill a sale section was included on the Vehicle/Vessel Transport and Reassignment Request (REG 262) available from the supply inventory and not online. This does not prevent use of aforementioned Account of Sale (REG 135) form, available on DMV website only and not from the supply warehouse. A calculate of sold must accurately establish the sequence of ownership and is:
