I am a Nebraska resident. I want to renew my car license plates. What documents do you need to see?

Proof of Insurance and either current registration or renewal notice. Proof of insurance is the only mandatory item.

I am moving to Nebraska from another state and am not in the military. What do I need to do?

Take the vehicle and title to Vehicle Inspections for VIN inspection. The fee is $10.00. If you have a lien on the car (e.g. bank has title), you will need to talk to County Clerk' s Office and have them request the title before you can go any further. If you have the title go to the County Clerk' s office (window 1) where you will obtain a new title. The car will then be assessed and you will receive your plates/registration from the Treasurer at window 2.

Where do we obtain "In Transit" stickers or signs?

Only dealers are authorized to provide "In Transit" signs. Nebraska dealers will provide them at purchase. If you purchased your car from other than a Nebraska dealer, keep the title, proof of insurance, and bill of sale with you when you are driving. You have 30 days to obtain plates from the date of purchase. In Transits cannot be renewed past the original 30 days. The State informs us that handmade "In Transits" are not legal even though you may see them on the street.

I lost my renewal card, do I need it?

No, it is not required.

I am moving to Sarpy County from another Nebraska county. What do I need to do?

Nothing until it is time to renew your plates. At that time, bring in your current registration, proof of insurance, and we will load you in the computer as a Sarpy County citizen. Be aware of your vehicle expiration. You will not get a renewal card from us but could get one forwarded from your previous county. PLEASE check Drivers License requirements for change of address (they are different)

I lost my registration and/or plates. How do I replace them?

Come in and we will produce a new registration for $6.75 or a new set of plates and registration for $14.75.

I lost my stickers. What do I do?

We can mail a new set or you can come in and pick them up after we verify the currency of your registration.

I just separated/retired from the military. How long do I have before I register as a resident?

30 days from your retirement or separation date. The intent to leave the state at some time in the future does not change this requirement.  If you do not have a Nebraska title for your vehicle, you will have to obtain one prior to registration as a Nebraska resident.  The process is basically the same as moving in from out of state.

I' m military. Why do I have to show my LES?

It demonstrates to us your state of legal residence which allows you to register your personally owned vehicle at the non-resident rate. If your LES says Nebraska then you are not eligible to register as a non-resident and this does not apply.  If you have a leased vehicle you will also have to produce an LES unless you are a Nebraska resident.
