Nonresidents using their watercraft in Utah for more than 60 days per year, must register in Utah. Nonresidents using their off-highway vehicle or snowmobile in Utah pay an annual user fee to the Division of Parks and Recreation. Upon payment of the $30 fee, a user receives a decal for display on the off-highway vehicle or snowmobile. Decals are available from Parks and Recreation or their authorized agents. Exceptions: Nonresident students who pay nonresident tuition, certain military personnel, temporary workers and individuals temporarily in Utah engaged in public or charitable service may be exempt from registering vehicles in Utah. Where to Go and What to Bring Bring to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) the following for each vehicle: • Title, if not held by lienholder • Most recent registration • Serial number (VIN) inspection, where required • Utah gas or diesel emission certificate, where required • Utah safety inspection certificate, where required • Valid driver license Most vehicles do not require a safety inspection for Utah registration. A safety inspection certificate is only required when registering a street-legal ATV for the first time or if you will be changing a salvage title to a rebuilt status. You are responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle. Inspect your vehicle’s tires, brakes, steering, suspension, lights and other equipment often to make sure your vehicle is in safe operating condition. Commercial vehicles require an annual safety inspection. An inspection certificate must be kept in the vehicle for review by law enforcement, but does not need to be submitted to the DMV for registration. For more information about Safety Inspections, contact the Dept. of Public Safety at 801-965-4461. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or Hull Identification Number (HIN) Inspections of identification numbers are required for all vehicles or vessels to be titled in Utah for the first time. VIN or HIN inspections can be completed by a peace officer, inspection station, Utah licensed dealership or DMV employee. Inspections must be completed using form TC-661 (Certificate of Inspection). Signed safety or emissions certificates are an acceptable means of verification for cars, trucks and motorcycles, providing that the VIN on the inspection certificate matches the VIN on the vehicle. Emission Certificates As a prerequisite for registration, emission certificates are required in Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties and are valid for two months from issue date. Emissions tests can be completed at most service stations. Emission certificates in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties for gas-powered cars and trucks are required every other year for vehicles less than six years old. Vehicles in this category having even-numbered model years must have emission tests in even-numbered years, and vehicles having odd-numbered model years must have emission tests in oddnumbered years. Vehicles less than two years old (based on the model year) are exempt from the emission test requirement. Vehicles with model years six years old and older (to 1967) must pass emission tests every year. Vehicles registered in Cache County with model years less than six years old are not required to have an emission test. Vehicles six years old and greater that have even-numbered model years must have an emission test in even-numbered years, and vehicles that have odd-numbered model years must have an emission test in odd-numbered years. Vehicles 1997 and older that are diesel powered are exempt from emission tests. All vehicles 1968 and older are exempt from emissions. Farm trucks may apply for an exemption from emissions with their County Health Departments.
