Nebraska Bill of Sale

What Nebraska requires for a vehicle sale

• The DMV Bill of Sale form says individuals transferring ownership of a motor vehicle must complete a Bill of Sale at the time of sale, and are not required to use that form.
• The DMV forms page lists Bill of Sale and Bill of Sale - Parts without a form number.
• The form includes sale date, price, seller and buyer details, year, make, model, VIN, and a seller warranty of ownership free of liens.
• The form has notary sections, but the page does not say notarization is required.
• An out-of-state title page says the seller must provide a bill of sale when ownership transfers with the title application, or Department of Revenue Form 6 may be used.
• The title fee listed is $10.00.

Nebraska bill of sale: what to include

Whatever Nebraska requires, a signed bill of sale protects both sides. It proves the price, the date and that the car was sold as-is. Include:

• Seller's and buyer's full names and addresses
• Year, make, model, color and VIN
• Odometer reading on the day of sale
• Sale price and date of sale
• As-is wording, plus a statement that the seller owns the vehicle and any lien is paid off
• Signatures and dates for both parties

Sample as-is wording

I, the seller, sell the vehicle described above to the buyer for the price shown, as-is, with no warranty, express or implied. The seller confirms they are the owner and that the odometer reading is correct to the best of their knowledge. This sale is made under the laws of Nebraska.

Seller checklist (Nebraska)

• Complete a bill of sale at the time of sale; the state form is optional.
• Include the date, price, both parties' details, vehicle year, make, model and VIN.
• Warrant that you own the vehicle and it is free of liens.
• Sign the bill of sale and give the buyer the title.

Buyer checklist (Nebraska)

• Get the signed bill of sale and the title.
• Apply for title at the County Treasurer; Form 6 (sales/use tax statement) may be used as the alternative document.
• Pay the $10.00 title fee and applicable taxes.

Things to watch in Nebraska

• The pages we read do not give a buyer title deadline, notice of sale or plate rules; check with Nebraska DMV at 402-471-3985.
• They do not say whether notarization is required, and they do not describe odometer rules; confirm with the agency.
