What is Application for Credit – Nebraska?
The Application for Credit is a Nebraska DMV affidavit in which the owner of a motor vehicle swears that the vehicle is disabled and removed from service, and requests a credit of motor vehicle taxes, motor vehicle fees and registration fees for it.
The form is built as a sworn statement. It opens with a venue line (State of Nebraska, County of) and the owner's name, followed by the words "being duly sworn, deposes or affirms and says" that he or she owns the vehicle described below. The vehicle block asks for the year, make, model and body style, the Vehicle Identification Number and the license plate number.
Two statements are preprinted. The owner is requesting a credit of the taxes and fees for the vehicle indicated, and the described vehicle is disabled and has been removed from service, while the vehicle being registered today is a newly purchased replacement vehicle. The owner then signs on the line for the Signature of Motor Vehicle Owner.
The form warns that filing a false affidavit violates the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Registration Act, and that any person, firm, association, partnership, Limited Liability Company or corporation that does so may be subject to prosecution. The revision printed on the form is 8/2017. It appears on the Nebraska DMV forms page among the agency's vehicle forms. The form does not state the amount of the credit; for that, contact the Nebraska DMV.
Who needs to file Application for Credit – Nebraska?
The owner of a motor vehicle that is disabled and has been removed from service uses this form when registering a newly purchased replacement vehicle and wants a credit of the motor vehicle taxes, motor vehicle fees and registration fees paid on the old vehicle.
The form is written in the owner's own voice, so the person who signs must be the owner of the vehicle described. It names persons, firms, associations, partnerships, Limited Liability Companies and corporations in its false-affidavit warning, which shows that owners other than individuals are within its scope. The form does not describe who may sign on an owner's behalf.
Do not use it if the vehicle is not disabled or has not been removed from service, or if you are not registering a newly purchased replacement vehicle: the form's statements would not be true, and the form warns that a false affidavit violates the Motor Vehicle Registration Act.
When to file Application for Credit – Nebraska
Complete the Application for Credit when you register the newly purchased replacement vehicle. The form states that the replacement vehicle "is being registered today," so it is prepared for the same registration, not before the vehicle is disabled and removed from service. It prints no separate deadline, expiration date or renewal cycle. Have the replacement purchase and the details of the disabled vehicle (year, make, model, body style, VIN and license plate number) in hand before you start.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Signing the affidavit when the vehicle is not actually disabled and removed from service; the form warns that a false affidavit violates the Motor Vehicle Registration Act and may lead to prosecution.
- Describing the newly purchased replacement vehicle in the vehicle information block instead of the disabled vehicle for which the credit is requested.
- Leaving the Signature of Motor Vehicle Owner line blank; the form is a sworn statement by the owner.
- Leaving the State and County venue line, or the owner's name in the sworn statement, unfilled.
- Omitting the Vehicle Identification Number or the license plate number from the vehicle information block.
- Using the form when no replacement vehicle is being registered; its statement says the vehicle being registered today is a newly purchased replacement vehicle.
