Is a Vehicle Bill of Sale Required in Nebraska?
Large purchases in Nebraska are accompanied by a specific document — a bill of sale. When buying a car, you must obtain this document from the seller (or draw it together). This legal form can act as an official confirmation of the sale and change of vehicle ownership. You will need the document for personal reporting and car registration.
It is recommended to draw up the car bill of sale form at once in several copies so that both the seller and the buyer can use it for their own purposes.
The Nebraska motor bill of sale usually consists of one page drawn by the vehicle seller. Regardless of which side of the transaction you belong to, you must carefully check the paper before signing.
The basic information provided in the form:
-
Date of sale
-
Seller’s print name and address
-
Buyers’ print name and address
-
Payment amount
-
Vehicle information (year, make, model, and VIN)
-
Signatures of both parties
-
Notary signature (not always needed)
Sign the document only after you have received the vehicle. Bill of Sale shows the already completed transaction and the act of sale/purchase.
If you want to register a car in Nebraska, you will need this document. You will have to provide it to the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles with proof of insurance, title, and ID. In addition, you need a lease agreement if the vehicle is leased. And be prepared to pay taxes and fees.
