Cars, trucks and on-highway motorcycles are required to be inspected prior to registration, as follows: Vehicles with model years less than eight years old need a safety inspection once every two years. Vehicles in this category having even-numbered model years must have safety inspections in even-numbered years, and vehicles having odd-numbered model years must have safety inspections in odd-numbered years. For example, a 2007 model year vehicle must have a safety inspection when it is registered in 2009. Vehicles with model years eight years old and older must pass safety inspections every year. Safety inspection is not required for non-commercial trailers, regardless of age. Inspections are available at most service stations and are valid for two months. For more information about Safety Inspections, call the Dept. of Public Safety at 801-965-4461.

Trailers weighing less than 750 pounds, when empty, are not required to be registered. However, any trailer may be registered for your convenience.

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.

Inspections of identification numbers are required for all vehicles or vessels to be titled in Utah. Safety and emission inspection certificates are acceptable means of verification for cars, trucks and motorcycles, providing that the VIN is accurate on the safety inspection certificate. Trailers, boats, off-highway vehicles and snowmobiles require separate VIN or HIN inspections which can be completed by a Utah peace officer, a qualified safety inspection station, a Utah licensed dealer or a DMV employee. This inspection will be completed at any DMV office at no extra charge.
