in Montana the seller has to sign the title over in-front-of a notary and then they stamp it with a seal to show it is leagal.

In CA, NJ and VA you take the title to the DMV along with the bill of sale. They will ask you to pay registration, tax for the purchase price and take away the current title. 15-20 days later you will get the new title in your name by mail. However you will get the green sticker right away, put the sticker on the left rear of the ATV where it is clearly visible.

For most states, as long as the value is under $4K nothing more is needed other than what has been told above.

In fact I just registered my ATV just using the title( 2 week ago), no bill of sale was ever used.
I have done this on my Jeep Wrangler too but had the bill of sale for just in case scenarios.
