Frequently asked questions

Does a bill of sale transfer ownership of a car?

A PactStamp bill of sale is a supplemental record of the stated item, condition, price, and signatures. It does not transfer title or replace state-specific title, odometer, registration, tax, or other required forms. Check current state requirements.

Is this legally binding?

PactStamp does not determine legal validity or enforceability. It records consent, signatures, server event times, and hashes for integrity checks; courts and other authorities decide the record’s legal effect and weight.

Do I need a lawyer?

PactStamp cannot decide whether you need a lawyer. The public builder is limited to supported adult Texas scenarios in English, but templates remain self-help starting points rather than legal advice or a guarantee of enforceability. Have a licensed attorney review high-value, regulated, unusual, or complex matters.
