Utah Car Title Requirements

Utah has several key requirements to obtain a new or replacement car title, which include:

    • Deceased owner car title transfer
    • Out-of-state vehicle title transfer
  • Form TC-123 for:
    • Duplicate car title
    • Replacement car title
    • Lost car title

Utah has several fees associated with the title recovery process:

  • Title fee ($6) (for new, duplicate, and transfer titles)
  • Title correction ($6)
  • Sales tax (varies by county)
  • Corridor fee ($10) (required in specific counties)
  • Age-based registration fee ($50-$150, based on model year)

Utah Lien Release

As soon as you pay off a car loan, your lender should send a lien release notice to the state. This proves that you are now the sole owner, and that no one else has a legal claim to it. Most lenders will do this electronically, and they will mail a new, lien-free title to you. If your lender doesn’t use the electronic system, then you will receive the original title with the lender’s signature on the back, releasing their ownership claim on your vehicle. You can then take whatever type of document you received to your local DMV and request a new, clear title.
