Introduction
I. Introduction to the Nebraska Electronic Lien and Title System
The purpose of this guide is to provide lenders with the necessary information to
participate in Nebraska’s Electronic Lien and Title System (ELT).
This guide, a mix of business and technical topics, is available for download from
the DMV’s website and may be updated from time to time as necessary.
II. Program Goal
This program is the responsibility of the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles
(DMV).
The goal of ELT is to provide for the electronic transmission of lien transaction data
between lenders and the DMV. The electronic transmission of data is a benefit to
the participating lenders, the vehicle/motorboat owners, the local county treasurer
office, and the DMV.
III. How it Works
Lender participation in this program is, at present, optional. However, all Nebraska
certificates of title containing lien information are stored electronically. No printed
copy is produced for mailing to the lender unless specifically requested.
Certificate of title and lien applications are filed at title issuing offices [local county
treasurer office or the DMV, Division of Motor Carrier Services (MCS) for any
common, contract or private carrier of property by motor vehicles in interstate
commerce]. Upon the notation of a lien, the certificate of title record is stored
electronically on the DMV Vehicle Title and Registration (VTR) database and a
participating lender is electronically notified of the title issuance/lien notation.
At the time of lien satisfaction, a participating lender electronically notifies the DMV
of the lien release and the DMV prints and mails the certificate of title to the owner
(or other entity as directed by the lender).
Providers, on behalf of participating lenders, exchange data files with the DMV
daily. These files contain lien notations, lien releases, error/correction information,
requests for paper titles, and conversion requests.

Version 5.2 February 23, 2024
Transition Into ELT
I. Existing Paper Titles – Noting of a Lien
Each paper certificate of title presented for the notation of a lien is retained by the
title issuing office and upon lien notation the certificate of title becomes electronic.
II. Existing Paper Titles – Release of a Lien
The lien is required to be released on the face of the certificate of title, presented
to a title issuing office for release on VTR and the certificate of title is returned to
the owner (or other entity as directed).
3
Version 5.2 February 23, 2024
Non-Participating Lender Process
I. Certificate of Title Issuance with a Lien Notation
Applications for certificates of title and/or lien notation are submitted to a county
treasurer office. The exception to this rule is the applications submitted by any
common, contract or private carrier of property by motor vehicles in interstate
commerce whose vehicles are registered with MCS (applications are filed with
MCS).
Upon issuance of the certificate of title with the lien noted, the certificate of title is
stored electronically on VTR. No printed copy is produced for mailing to the lender.
Title issuance and lien notation can be verified through a check of the DMV records
through the Title Inquiry function available at: www.dmv.nebraska.gov/services.
II. Lien Release
A Non-Participating Lender Lien Release application, completed by the lender,
must be submitted to a title issuing office. Upon acceptance of the Application, the
lien is released on VTR and the certificate of title is printed.
III. Request for Printed Certificate of Title
An electronic certificate of title may be printed, at the request of a lender, if the
owner is relocating to another state or for other purposes as approved by the DMV.
A Non-Participating Lender Request for Paper Title, completed by the lender, must
be submitted to the DMV. Upon acceptance of the Application the DMV will print
and mail the certificate of title as directed by the lender.

Version 5.2 February 23, 2024
How to Become a Participating Lender or Provider
I. What is a Participating Lender?
A participating lender is one who has registered with the DMV as a participating
lender, has been assigned a Participating Lender ID by the DMV and has
established a service relationship with a DMV approved provider.
II. What is a Provider?
A provider is an entity who has entered into a written agreement with the DMV to
provide electronic lien and title services for participating lenders.
III. Becoming a Participating Lender
Complete the Nebraska Electronic Lien and Title Participating Lender Application
and submit to the DMV. Requests for additional information or assignment of the
Participating Lender ID (PLID) will be returned within 5 business days.
A participating lender may also become a provider or must engage an existing
provider for the interface with DMV.
IV. Becoming a Provider
Complete the Nebraska Electronic Lien and Title Provider Application and submit
to the DMV. Requests for additional information or a Nebraska Electronic Lien and
Title Provider Agreement, requiring a company signature, will be returned within
10 business days. Upon execution of the Agreement successful completion of
communication and system testing is required prior to implementation.
V. Changing Providers
Complete the Nebraska Electronic Lien and Title Participating Lender Application
and submit to the DMV.
You have the option to have all existing electronic title records sent to the new
provider at the time of application. If records are sent to the new provider, they will
be identified as either LA or LK transactions. The records will be sent as LA
transactions if not sent to previous provider and LK transactions if previously sent.
If you do not select to have the existing electronic records sent to the new provider
at time of application, you will need to utilize the conversion process to request
later.

File Transfer Schedules
DMV and providers are required to retrieve files seven days a week, 365 days per year
(no holiday or weekend hiatus).
Providers retrieve outbound files from DMV and delete after successful retrieval between
the hours of 3:00 and 9:00 a.m. CDT.
Providers must have inbound files available for DMV processing by 10:00 p.m. CDT each
evening. DMV continually monitors for, retrieves, and stores all incoming files. Files
received are processing each evening between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and midnight
CDT.
Providers must notify the DMV and Technical Support contacts (see page 6) immediately
upon discovery of the failure to retrieve outbound files or submit inbound files. This
notification shall occur within 24 hours of the failure.

Version 5.2 February 23, 2024
Data Transfers
I. Required File Transfer Protocol
The Office of the CIO requires all data transfers be encrypted. Methods for
encrypted transfer provided for are SFTP, FTP TLS/SSL and CONNECT:Direct
SECURE +.
• SFTP – Secure File Transfer Protocol
Different protocol than FTP; uses Secure Shell (SSH) communications
technology to secure the control and data connection.
• FTP TLS/SSL (Also known as FTPS)
File Transfer Protocol with the added option of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or
Transport Layer Security (TLS – successor to SSL). TLS/SSL is used to
secure the control and data connection.
• CONNECT:Direct (C:D)
CONNECT:Direct (C:D) is a data transfer software product allowing data
centers within and across networks to send and receive large amounts of data.
CONNECT:Direct SECURE + is a comprehensive, cryptographic security
solution, which is approved by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST).
II. Standards and Conventions
Inbound files (identified on pages 8-9) will be named in the following manner:
FTP.VPID#.INBD.PYYMMDD where PID# is the provider identification number
assigned by the DMV and YYMMDD is the calendar date the file is created (e.g.
an inbound file for September 1, 2010 for vendor 1234 would be named
FTP.V1234.INBD.P100901).
Outbound files (identified on pages 10-12) will be named in the following manner:
FTP.VPID#.OUTBD.PYYMMDD where PID# is the provider identification number
assigned by the DMV and YYMMDD is the calendar date the file is created (e.g.
an outbound file for September 1, 2010 for vendor 1234 would be named
FTP.V1234.OUTBD.P100901).
The same file transfer protocol the provider uses for an inbound file will be used
for an outbound file.
25
Version 5.2 February 23, 2024
Communication and System Testing
Upon execution of the Nebraska Electronic Lien and Title Provider Agreement successful
completion of communication and system testing is required prior to implementation.
The provider shall coordinate testing efforts with DMV Technical Support (see page 6 for
contact information).
Two text files will be forwarded to the provider to use for testing. The first will be used by
the provider as an Inbound File, which will be retrieved by the Office of the OCIO and
verified with the sent text file. The Inbound file will contain a header record and up to ten
transactions consisting of a combination of LE, LG, LO and LC transactions.
The second will be a replica of the file the DMV uses as an Outbound File for the provider
to use in verifying the content of the actual test file retrieved. The Outbound file will
contain a header record and up to ten transactions consisting of a combination of EC,
EG, EO, LA, LK and LX transactions.
Upon successful completion of the testing the Office of the CIO contact person will report
to the DMV. DMV will then add the provider to the list of Current Providers and will
communicate with the provider to determine an implementation date.
