North Carolina Bill of Sale Forms

The North Carolina bill of sale form generates a paper record of the technicalities involved within the exchange of personal property for an agreed-upon sum of currency. The contract names the participating individuals and highlights specific facts referring to exact information on the item for sale and the terms of the agreement. The paperwork can be helpful for future use, to establish ownership, and protect against any liability for the seller.

    Firearm Registration Forms

    North Carolina does not designate that residents must formally register a firearm once obtained. In order to buy a gun, an individual will be required to gain access to a Pistol Purchase Permit beforehand. The state law doesn’t stipulate any required licensure for open carry of a long gun (except in certain cities), although, carrying a handgun openly or concealed will necessitate applying for a Concealed Handgun License. To apply, visit your county sheriff’s office with the following gathered materials:

    • A filled-out North Carolina Application for Permit to Purchase a Handgun (Form SBI-CHP-5-16)
    • Evidence of fulfillment of a hunter safety course from one of the listed accepted instructors.
    • Two original fingerprint identification cards
    • An up-to-date driver’s license or ID with the correct address
    • Proof of citizenship or naturalization via a U.S. Passport, naturalization papers, green card, or another evidentiary document.
    • Proper funds to compensate for all necessary fees
