Nebraska will issue temporary registration authority for a vehicle(s) to be added to an established fleet for a period of forty-five (45) days while apportioned registration is being processed. The carrier must be in good standing with the Department to be eligible for temporary authority. If you need a temporary, log on to our new system, Under Add Vehicle enter the information, and upload required documents.  Once completed the Add Vehicle information will be reviewed by the MCS processing staff.  A temporary and invoice will be emailed to the carrier.

One temporary per unit will be issued at no fee. Temporary authorization will be emailed directly to the carrier.

Temporaries are granted for:

  1. Newly acquired vehicles
  2. Weight increases
  3. Lost vehicle identification (valid for twenty (20) days only)
