The short answer is yes.
The in-person title transfer process involves visiting a local DMV office. Individuals must bring the original signed title, the Application for Utah Title, and a bill of sale for vehicles valued over $500. For vehicles under 10 years old, an odometer disclosure statement is also necessary.
Transfer of a motor vehicle without a title may be easily accomplished with an Utah title bond. Utah defines a lost or defective title as "insufficient evidence of ownership". If the value of the motor vehicle exceeds one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) then a surety bond will likely be required.
To transfer a vehicle title in Utah, you need the current title, a bill of sale, and a completed Application for Utah Title. Both the buyer and seller must provide identification, like a valid driver's license or state-issued ID, and proof of residency.
Without a vehicle title, you have no way to prove you've obtained the vehicle legally and have a right to sell it. Whenever a vehicle is sold, each buyer must fill out and sign the title properly to prove ownership. Buying or selling a vehicle without proof of ownership is illegal in most places.
Create an electronic bill of sale. It takes just a few minutes to create a form and add fields for legally binding signatures, the date, signer name or initials, email address, and more. Then you can send the form out via email for the other party's signature. If you need to make changes after sending, you can.
