What to bring

  • original certificate of title or Form TC-123 duplicate-title application when the title is missing
  • Form TC-656 application for Utah title and registration
  • government-issued identification for each owner
  • odometer disclosure for vehicles under 20 years old or Form TC-891 when required
  • lien release documentation when a lienholder is printed on the title
  • VIN or HIN inspection if the vehicle is being titled in Utah for the first time

Likely next steps

  1. Start with Utah's out-of-state title and registration workflow rather than a normal renewal.
  2. Gather the out-of-state title or registration, TC-656, identification, and any lienholder or leasing-company documents before visiting an office.
  3. Complete the VIN or HIN inspection if the vehicle is being titled in Utah for the first time.
  4. Complete any required emissions inspection before finishing Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Cache, or Utah County registration.
  5. Use the fee estimator and appointment links below if the workflow cannot be completed fully online.
