Nebraska car selling questions

Do I need a title to sell my car in Nebraska?

For a titled vehicle, yes: the title is how ownership passes to the buyer. To replace a lost Nebraska title, apply to the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles with Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title. The fee is $14.

Can I junk a car without a title in Nebraska?

No. Every owner of record must sign the title over to 'JUNK' and surrender it (Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-169); if the title is lost, Nebraska DMV says the owner must first get a duplicate title. To replace a lost Nebraska title, apply to the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles with Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title. The fee is $14.

Do I keep my license plates when I sell a car in Nebraska?

In Nebraska, the plates belong to the seller, not the car. Registration expires at sale. Seller may reassign plates to another vehicle within 30 days or return them to the county for a refund.

How do I tell the Nebraska DMV that I sold my car?

File the Report Sale of Vehicle (Notice of Transfer) with the state after the sale, and you can file it online. It records that the car is no longer yours. Filing it protects you from tickets, tolls and liability for anything that happens after the car leaves.

Is pickup really free everywhere in Nebraska?

Yes. Towing is free anywhere in Nebraska a tow truck can reach, and nothing is deducted from your offer for it.
