CarTitles.com can help you through the process. If you want to go through the title recovery process on your own, then follow the steps below.

Nebraska has several fees that accompany the car title transfer process, including:
Once you pay off a car loan, your lender will submit a lien release to the DMV, either electronically with a Non-Participating Lender Lien Release, or by signing the paper title and mailing it to you. If your lender uses the electronic option, the DMV will mail you a clear title once the information has been processed. Otherwise, you will need to take the signed title from the lender and the required application (above) and the other information to your DMV office to request a clear title.

As a new resident, you have 30 days to register your car title in Nebraska. You can do this at the County Treasurer’s office in person. Take your out-of-state title, proof of Nebraska insurance, a Sheriff’s inspection of the VIN, and the $10 title fee (plus additional registration and license plate fees). You also need a completed Application for Certificate of Title.
To replace your lost car title, you need to fill out the Application for Duplicate Title and submit it to your local County Treasurer’s office. You can do this in person or by mail. You will need to pay the $14 fee as well. Completing this in person will be faster than if you opt to do so by mail. Note that this process is for titles that were already registered in Nebraska. If you lost an out-of-state title, you will need to follow that state’s process for a duplicate title, and then register your vehicle in Nebraska.
Submit a completed Application for Duplicate Title to your local County Treasurer’s office. You can do this in person or online. You will be required to pay the $14 fee as well. The turnaround time by mail is about 14 days; if you visit the County Treasurer’s office in person, you will usually get your replacement title that day.
You will need to submit the death certificate, the current vehicle title, and a completed Application for Certificate of Title to the County Treasurer’s office. You will also need to file an Affidavit for Transfer of Personal Property without Probate, or other court documentation, depending on the estate’s probate status. If the vehicle title lists joint ownership, then the surviving owner can transfer the title using the death certificate.
Using the Application for Duplicate Title, submit this and the required $14 fee to your County Treasurer’s office. You will likely need to surrender the damaged title as well.

Once you pay off a car loan, you want to get a new, clear title without the lender’s information listed. To do this, your lender needs to submit a lien release to the DMV. Many lenders will do this electronically with a Non-Participating Lender Lien Release; some may instead sign the paper title and mail it to you. If your lender uses the electronic option, the DMV will mail you a clear title once the information has been processed.
