Selling privately in Utah
When you sell a vehicle, boat, trailer, or other titled property privately in Utah, a completed bill of sale records the price, date, and the legal names of both parties. That is the documentation Utah Motor Vehicle Division (DMV) relies on to process the title transfer. Utah also requires an odometer disclosure for vehicle and motorcycle sales, which is built into every document.
Utah does not require notarization, though either party can choose to notarize for added protection. After the sale, the buyer should complete the title transfer with Utah Motor Vehicle Division (DMV) promptly after the sale. Keep your copy of the completed bill of sale as proof of the transaction.
Utah-specific notes: Odometer disclosure is required for vehicle sales in Utah. Utah does not set a fixed deadline in days. Under Utah Code 41-1a-703, the buyer must apply for a new certificate of title and obtain a new registration before operating the vehicle on a Utah highway.
Utah law (Utah Code 41-1a-703) requires the buyer to obtain a new title and registration before operating the vehicle on a Utah highway, rather than within a fixed number of days.
Federal law requires an odometer disclosure for model year 2011 and newer vehicles until they are 20 model years old; model year 2010 and older vehicles are exempt.
No title from the seller? A bill of sale alone usually isn't enough to title a vehicle in Utah. First ask the seller to request a duplicate title from their state. If that isn't possible, many states offer a bonded title, and the application usually asks for a signed bill of sale as proof you bought the vehicle.
Our guides cover both: What to do when the seller has no title and Bonded titles by state.
