Free Nebraska Bill of Sale Forms

In Nebraska, a Bill of Sale is used to record the legal transfer of ownership of high-value items. It’s typically used when selling:

• Vehicles
• Boats
• Firearms

This legal document outlines the terms agreed upon by both parties, and is a written record of the sale. It can help to prevent future ownership disputes that may arise after the fact.

Your BOS should include key details like the buyer and seller’s names, item description, sale price, and date of sale.

You may need a Bill of Sale to register vehicles and boats with the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It may also serve as proof of ownership in other legal situations.

Nebraska Bill of Sale Sample

You must present these documents to the County Treasurer to register a car in Nebraska:

• Proof of Insurance: Must be original, not a photocopy.
• Proof sales or excise tax has been paid
• Nebraska Title: Must be issued before registration unless exempt or non-resident
• Signed lease agreement: Only if the vehicle is leased

You must register your vehicle within 30 days of purchase. Registration is done in the county where the vehicle is primarily housed.

The laws surrounding transfer of car ownership in the state are explained in Revised Statute § 60-140.

To register a boat in Nebraska, you must go in person to your County Treasurer’s office and provide:

• Completed Application for Boat Number and Certificate
• Proof of ownership: For new boats, a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, for used ones a properly assigned title or Bill of Sale will suffice.
• Sales and Use Tax Statement (Form 6MB): If purchased from a dealer
• Payment of registration fees: Varies by size of boat
• Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Stamp: Required for motorized boats

Boats powered by motors and used on public or private waters in Nebraska must be registered unless exempt.

Nebraska does not have a statewide firearm registration requirement. However, to purchase a handgun, you must obtain a Handgun Purchase Certificate unless you have a Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit.

To apply for a Handgun Purchase Certificate, you need to meet the following requirements:

• Be at least 21 years old
• Complete an application with your local sheriff's office
• Provide a valid photo ID
• Pay a $5 fee
• If you’re not a U.S. citizen, provide an alien resident card or I-94 with a non-immigrant exception

The requirements and application process may differ slightly from country to county. For more information, you can refer to Nebraska Revised Statute § 69-2404.
