What do I need if I purchased a vehicle from a Private Party?

When a person purchases a vehicle from a private party, they need to have them write out a "Bill of Sale". It can be written or typed but it needs to include the purchaser and sellers names, the Vehicle Identification Number of the vehicle, sale date, and the sale price. The seller then signs and dates the bill of sale. 

The purchaser will then come in to register the vehicle at one our locations They will need to bring the title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance for the newly purchased vehicle. The clerks at our office will then fill out a "Nebraska Sales Tax and Use Form 6" from the information contained on the bill of sale to complete the registration process at that time.

For your convenience, you can utilize our Bill of Sale (PDF) form to help with the process.
