Nebraska Bill of Sale Requirements & Free Form

Nebraska requirements

• Nebraska DMV guidance states the seller must provide the buyer with a bill of sale or a completed Nebraska Department of Revenue Form 6 in a private sale.
• Nebraska accepts the Department of Revenue Form 6 as its official sales document; our template is a general purpose bill of sale alternative for record keeping.
• The buyer must obtain a certificate of title within 30 days of the purchase date by applying to a County Treasurer with the title application and the $10 titling fee.
• The seller is responsible for completing the odometer certification section of the title at the time of sale.
• Both parties should complete their title sections at the time of purchase; an incomplete open title violates Nebraska's Certificate of Title Act.
• Notarization of the bill of sale is not listed as a requirement in DMV guidance; confirm document questions with the Nebraska DMV or your County Treasurer.
