AIRCRAFT BILL OF SALE INFORMATION
PREPARATION:

Prepare this form in duplicate. Except for signatures, all data should be typewritten or printed.
Signatures must be in ink or digital signature. The name of the purchaser must be identical to the name
of the applicant shown on the Aircraft Registration Application, AC Form 8050-1.

When a trade name is used by the purchaser or seller the name of the individual owner or co-owners
must be shown along with the trade name. This does not apply to corporations or LLCs, as these are
separate legal entities, and the inclusion of individual name(s) along with the company name will
indicate co-ownership between the company and the individual(s).
If the aircraft was not purchased from the last registered owner, conveyances must be submitted
completing the chain of ownership from the last registered owner, through all intervening owners, to the
applicant.

REGISTRATION AND RECORDING FEES:

The fee for issuing a certificate of aircraft registration is $5.00. An additional fee of $5.00 is required
when a conditional sales contract is submitted in lieu of bill of sale as evidence of ownership along with
the application for aircraft registration ($5.00 for the issuance of the certificate and $5.00 for recording
the lien evidenced by the contract). The fee for recording a conveyance is $5.00 for each eligible piece
of collateral listed thereon. (There is no fee for issuing a certificate of aircraft registration to a
governmental unit or for recording a bill of sale that accompanies an application for aircraft registration
and the proper registration fee.)

Registration Branch, P.O. Box 25504, Oklahoma City, OK 73125-0504.
