How to Replace a Lost Vehicle Title in Nebraska

You may apply for a duplicate vehicle title if your original title is lost, stolen, or damaged. A vehicle with a missing title cannot be bought or sold, so owners must apply for and obtain a replacement before they can sell their vehicle.

WHAT YOU NEED WHEN APPLYING FOR A DUPLICATE TITLE

  1. Complete the Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title signed by the owner/s.
  2. Once completed, you must have the application form properly notarized. You will also need to include the title number, vehicle identification number and year, make and model of your vehicle.
  3. If your original title is damaged or mutilated, you must return the original title when applying for a duplicate.
  4. If a lien is involved, the lien holder must also sign the form.

FEES

Along with your application form and the other materials, you must submit a $14 duplicate title fee. You can contact your local County Official for the accepted mode of payment.

SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION

You can submit the application and fees for a duplicate title at your Local County Treasurer's Office.
