How to Register a Vehicle in Nebraska?

All motor vehicles that are used on Nebraska’s roadways must be registered. The process of registering a car in Nebraska requires a vehicle title, proof of insurance, and payment of registration fees and taxes. You can complete this task in person or through the mail. In order to register a vehicle in Nebraska, you must have a valid driver’s license or ID card. You must also have a certificate of inspection from your county treasurer’s office.

If you are a new resident to the state, you have 30 days to transfer your out-of-state vehicle registration and drivers’ license to your new address in Nebraska. To do this, you will need to bring your original driver’s license, proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful status, and identity documents.

In addition to the registration fee, you will need to pay an excise tax and local county taxes. These taxes are based on the vehicle value, weight, and use. If you are purchasing a new vehicle, you may be able to negotiate these fees with the seller.

If you are registering your car from out of state, you will need a completed Application for Certificate of Title (Form RV-707). You will also need a copy of your current valid out-of-state registration and payment for the excise tax and registration fees. In addition, you will need a lease agreement, if the vehicle is leased. You can also make changes to your license plate and registration in person at your local county treasurer’s office.

Nebraska Vehicle Registration Renewal

The State of Nebraska requires all motor vehicles to carry a current vehicle registration in order to operate on the roads and highways. You can renew your registration online, by mail or in person at a county treasurer’s office. You will need your current registration card or the bottom portion of your renewal notice, a certificate of insurance and payment. If your name or address has changed since your last registration renewal, you will need to provide proof of that change and a new address verification form.

You will also need to pay any applicable fees and taxes. These are based on the value, weight and use of your vehicle and vary by county. To help estimate your registration fees, you can use the Nebraska DMV’s fee and tax estimator. You can also sign up for eNotice, which will allow you to receive email or text reminders about your renewal date. There are also a variety of specialty license plate options available. You can find out more about these plates and how to order them on the Nebraska DMV website.
