After years on the road together and hundreds of fond memories, it’s finally time to sell Ol’ Bessie on KSL Cars. She’s washed, waxed, polished and preened. There’s just one final item on your list: finding your lost car title. You saw it three moves ago, it must be somewhere. But what if you just can’t find it? Can you sell a car without a title in Utah?
Replace your title
To sell your car, you will need proof of ownership. The car title lets the buyer know the vehicle does, in fact, belong to you. Also, if the buyer is trying to secure financing, their lender will need proof of ownership. Indeed, it should be a major red flag if the seller doesn’t have the title, because it could mean the vehicle is stolen property or has outstanding liens.
If it seems lost forever, don’t worry. You can order a Utah car title replacement from the Division of Motor Vehicles. Apply either through the Utah Motor Vehicle Portal, or by filling out the Application for Duplicate Utah Title, Form TC-123. Mail it to:
Division of Motor Vehicles
P.O. Box 30412
Salt Lake City, UT 84130
What you’ll need
To complete the title application, you’ll need to supply some basic information.
- Most recent registration
- License plate number
- Vehicle identification number
- Odometer reading
- Lein holder information
