Most states have titling and registration laws that require residents to title and register their cars in the state—and for new residents of the state to do so within some period of time, such as 30 days. Some states require titled cars to pass a comprehensive safety inspection. And some states also require cars owned by residents of certain counties to pass an emissions test/inspection designed to improve air quality in more densely populated counties.
In Nebraska, residents are required to title and register their vehicles with the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). New residents must title and register their vehicles within 30 days of establishing residency. Nebraska does not require a state-wide vehicle safety inspection for passenger vehicles. However, commercial vehicles must pass safety inspections. As for emissions testing, Nebraska does not have a state-wide emissions testing program for passenger vehicles. The state focuses on other environmental programs and strategies to manage air quality. It's important for vehicle owners to check with the Nebraska DMV for the most current registration requirements, fees, and any county-specific regulations that may apply.
