Part of being a car owner is the regular practice of renewing your vehicle’s registration. In Nebraska, you must carry a current registration certificate in your car and display a current sticker on your license plate, so this is something fairly important that you, as a driver, should be aware of. The process for updating your registration is fairly similar, but will differ slightly state to state. To make your life a bit easier, we thought we’d collect the info you need to update your Registration in Nebraska here on our Harchelroad Motors blog. Remember, if you have any questions you can always consult your state’s DMV website and they’ll have more detailed information for you there.
By way of mail you will receive a registration renewal notice from The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) BEFORE your car registration expires. The notice will list the fees and taxes you must pay in order to renew your registration. If you didn’t get yours, be sure to contact the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles as soon as possible so that you can continue to drive your vehicle legally. Once you have your renewal notice, you can proceed to update your registration in one of three ways.
You can renew your Nebraska DMV registration:
- Online.
- By mail.
- In person.
Online Renewal:
- Your renewal notice OR your current vehicle registration certificate.
- A form of payment for the applicable fee
Once you send in your application online your new vehicle registration card and license plate sticker will arrive at your address currently on file with the DMV within 5 business days. If you haven’t received your registration documents, you can check the status of your order by contacting the DMV.
It’s also important to note that there are a few circumstances in which you would not be able to complete your registration update online.
Ineligible Vehicles:
- Vehicles that have certain license plates affixed:
• Amateur radio license plates.
• Pearl Harbor survivor license plates. - Vehicles that have a tax-exempt status.
- Vehicles used for farm and commercial purposes that are registered for over 27 tons.
- Vehicles whose registration has been expired 1 year or more.
By Mail or In Person:
- The bottom portion of your renewal notice, OR your current registration card.
- Proof of financial responsibility, such as a certificate of insurance.
- Payment for your fee. (See “NE Vehicle Registration Renewal Fees” below.)
Send or take the documents listed above and payment to the county treasurer office, the address is provided on your renewal notice. Much like the online application, you will receive your updated registration by mail at the address provided on your information.
