VIN Inspections
It is the responsibility of the owner to bring their vehicle to the County Sheriff for inspection.
Vehicle inspections are required for:
- all vehicles, ATVs, minibikes and trailers brought into Nebraska from Out-of-State
- all Assembled Vehicles and assembled ATVs and minibikes
- a vehicle, ATV or minibike with a Salvage Certificate of Title when making application for a regular Certificate of Title (title will be branded “Previously Salvaged” and brand will be carried forward on all title issued thereafter)
- all Applications for Assigned ID Number, [Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for a motor vehicle], including applications submitted for apportioned vehicles.
- assigned ID Number Applications for a Hull Identification Number (HIN) for motorboats do not require a Sheriff’s Inspection Form
- all ATVs and minibikes when no title document is surrendered
- any time the Department of Motor Vehicles or County Treasurer requests an inspection to determine if the vehicle meets the definition of motor vehicle
No identification inspection will be conducted unless all major component parts are properly attached to the vehicle in the correct location.
You will be required to produce ownership documentation at the time of inspection. If there is a lien holder or leasing company who has possession of the title document, you will need to contact the County Treasurer so they can request the title from the lien holder or leasing company.
The fee for a Sheriff’s Inspection is $10.00. Note: no fee is required when the ownership document presented is a United States Government Certificate to Obtain Title to a Vehicle (SF-97).
