If you are selling a car privately in Utah, you'll need to provide some paperwork to the buyer: the title, a bill of sale and the registration. If you don't have the title — or can't find it — order a replacement from the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles. You'll need to sign the title to transfer ownership.
A Utah motor vehicle bill of sale is written documentation of a transfer of vehicle ownership. Also known as Form TC-843, it is provided by the Utah State Tax Commission to record the vehicle's information, the buyer and seller's names, and the sale's details.
Although not legally required, the Utah DMV advises and provides private sellers with a bill of sale (form TC-843) to use when selling your car on your own. The bill of sale provides proof the seller has legally transferred ownership of the vehicle to the buyer.
In general, you'll have to fill out the following: Odometer disclosure - You'll need to fill out the current mileage on the car. Address - This will be your address. Signature(s) - You and any other people named on the title must sign away interest in the vehicle. Current date - Simply put the date of the sale.
Utah formerly required a public notary for titles, but no longer does. However, the instructions on the back of the document indicate that the seller should retain a copy of the document.
In general, when selling or donating a vehicle you must complete the section of the title labeled “Assignment of Title by Owner” or “Transfer of Ownership”. There are typically one or more sections of the title dedicated to dealer reassignments which should be left blank.
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.
How to Fill out the Title Using only blue or black ink, fill out the car title transfer form. Give the buyer the transfer form, which they'll need to fill out and sign, too. Notify the DMV that you're releasing ownership of the vehicle by submitting a “Notice of Transfer” or “Release of Liability” form.
