Utah - What To Do After I Sell My Car

When you sell your vehicle:

1. Remove your license plates from the vehicle. If you do not, you may be liable for any parking or traffic violations occurring while your plates remain on the car.
2. Give the new owner the signed title, current registration certificate, and current safety and emission certificates. The new owner may obtain a temporary permit from any Motor Vehicle office by presenting the signed title, proof of insurance, and picture identification and paying all applicable fees
3. Report the vehicle as sold to the Division of Motor Vehicles. This can be done by choosing one of these options:

• Online. Use Utah’s Motor Vehicle Portal—MVP.
• By mail or fax. The written notification must include the vehicle year, make, plate or vehicle identification number, and the owner’s signature. This notification can be sent to:

Division of Motor Vehicles
MVCC
P.O. Box 30412
Salt Lake City, UT 84130
Fax: (801) 297-3570

• By phone. Contact the DMV at 1-800-DMV-UTAH
