A Nebraska vehicle bill of sale is a legal document that clearly outlines the transfer of ownership of a vehicle from the seller to the buyer. As a seller, a vehicle bill of sale provides you with proof of the transaction. As a buyer, it proves your new ownership of the vehicle.
The Nebraska DMV requires the seller to provide a Nebraska vehicle bill of sale to transfer ownership of their vehicle.
Here’s everything you need to know about writing a vehicle bill of sale in Nebraska.
Nebraska Vehicle Registration
Vehicle registration is required for every car owner in Nebraska.
Whether you are buying or selling a car, you will need to register the new ownership with the DMV to drive the vehicle. If pulled over, you will be asked for your license and registration, so always keeping your registration in your car is important.
Where to Register Your Vehicle
All vehicle registration is handled at your local Nebraska DMV office.
If you buy a car from an automobile dealership, they may have the registration drawn up for you when the sale is completed. However, when buying or selling a used car privately, you must provide certain documents to prove the transfer of ownership.
Documents Required by the DMV Office
Buyer and seller will need to provide certain documents to the DMV when registering a vehicle, including:
- A motor vehicle bill of sale
- Odometer Disclosure Statement
- A certificate of title signed by the buyer and seller and notarized
- A completed application for a new certificate of title
- Proof of insurance
- $25,000 for bodily injuries per person
- $50,000 for bodily injuries per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
- A Nebraska driver’s license
- All fees, including a registration fee of at least $15
- A Nebraska Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney if another person is representing you at the DMV
