Document background
The Auto Bill of Sale is a crucial document used in Switzerland for documenting the sale and transfer of ownership of motor vehicles. It serves as official evidence of the transaction and must comply with Swiss federal laws, including the Code of Obligations (OR) and Federal Road Traffic Act (SVG), as well as relevant cantonal regulations. This document is essential for both private and commercial vehicle sales, providing a clear record of the transaction terms, vehicle details, and transfer of ownership. It includes mandatory information such as vehicle specifications, price, parties' details, and warranties, while also accommodating optional elements like payment schedules or trade-in arrangements. The document ensures compliance with Swiss consumer protection laws when applicable and includes necessary provisions for vehicle registration transfer at the cantonal level.
