Selling a junk car in Nebraska: title & DMV rules

Nebraska requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Columbus driveway.

If the title is missing: Nebraska uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Nebraska DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Nebraska is Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title.
License plates: Remove the plates — Nebraska plates stay with the owner.
Notice of sale / release of liability: Keep the assigned title and bill of sale; cancel registration with your county treasurer.
What Nebraska salvage buyers must do: Nebraska processes titles at county treasurer offices. Duplicates are straightforward with ID and the VIN; where no ownership document exists, Nebraska uses a bonded title. Licensed salvage dealers report the VINs of vehicles they take in.
