Document background
The Motor Bill of Sale is a crucial document in Belgian vehicle transactions, required for both private and commercial vehicle transfers. It serves as a legally binding record of the sale and transfer of ownership of a motor vehicle, incorporating specific requirements under Belgian law. This document is essential for compliance with Belgian federal and regional regulations, including the mandatory inclusion of Car-Pass information, technical inspection status, and vehicle registration details. The Bill of Sale must be drafted in accordance with the Belgian Civil Code and relevant consumer protection laws, making it significantly different from similar documents in other jurisdictions. It's particularly important as it forms the basis for vehicle registration transfer at the DIV (Vehicle Registration Service) and serves as proof of transaction for tax and insurance purposes.
