Effective November 2, 2001, taxpayers may take care of any drivers' license/state ID transaction in any county in the State of Nebraska. Issuance/address changes/name changes/renewals/CDLs (Commercial Drivers License) can now be done anywhere. You NO longer have to return to your county of residence. However, you should be aware that some of the smaller counties only have State of Nebraska Examiners available on specific days and therefore you should check with the county ahead of time.  Sarpy, Lancaster, and Douglas counties all have examiners available Monday throught Friday.

Payment options:  We are able to accept cash or check.  No form of plastic is accepted.

Non CDL transactions such as duplicates, address changes, and name changes usually do not require a visit to the examiner unless you are trying to renew. To view the Sarpy County Treasurer's hours for Non CDL duplicates, address changes and/or name changes select the information link above.

You may renew your expiring Nebraska license within 90 days (not three months) prior to the expiration date. If you are approaching your 21st birthday, you may complete the paperwork for renewing your license within 60 days of your birthday, however, you can not have the actual license issued until 10 days prior to your birthday. If you move to a new address, you should update your Nebraska license within 60 days. For renewals, it is recommended that you be here by 4:00 PM (4:30 PM Wednesdays) at the latest. The heaviest congestion in the offices is usually the periods immediately after release from school and Fridays in particular.

If you are active duty military, please press the Nebraska DMV link below and review the licensing rules for military in the Nebraska 2001 Driver License Manual, Section 1, Miscellaneous License Information portion. If you meet the eligibility rules for a MILITARY RENEWAL of your Nebraska drivers license, please press the underlined link above to download/view the forms.

Out-of-State Renewal

Nebraska licensed drivers that are out of the state during their renewal period, may apply for renewal, prior to expiration or within 1 year after expiration of their operators license by mail. You cannot renew a Commercial Driver's License by mail, you must renew this license in person. Contact the state examining main office for details at 402-471-3861.

A Packet of information will be sent to you by the State of Nebraska DMV. Upon thorough completion of the forms and return to the DMV they will issue a license without a picture. Since this process takes at least 3 to 4 weeks, individuals should apply in sufficient time to ensure license issuance prior to expiration. Further information can be obtained at the State link below.

If you lost your Nebraska license (and are out of state for an extended period), you can obtain a DUPLICATE license via the mail from the State of Nebraska DMV. It will not have a photo on it. Upon your return to Sarpy County, we can issue you a new license with a photo for $11.25.
