Utah title and paperwork rules
Cedar City sellers follow Utah state law, and the agency of record is Utah DMV. The clean route is a title in your name: sign it at pickup, never hand over a title with the buyer's section left blank, and photograph it before it changes hands.
Replacing a lost title: TC-123 (Application for Duplicate Title). Utah uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Utah DMV issues a title you can sign over.
Plates: Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
Reporting the sale: File a notice of sale with the Utah DMV after the sale. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Cedar City sellers can do
Utah duplicates use TC-123 and can often be handled online. Utah requires dismantlers to be licensed and to report acquisitions. Where the ownership chain is broken, the DMV's bonded-title route with a surety bond is the normal path.
Licensed UT salvage buyers and dismantlers can generally purchase a vehicle for recycling with less than a full title, provided you present ID and the right documentation — typically starting with the TC-123 (Application for Duplicate Title).
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with Utah DMV before you commit. We deliberately don't state a UT legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.

Cedar City seller checklist
Title in your name or your Utah DMV replacement paperwork under way, photo ID, and a lien release if the car was ever financed.
Car emptied — glovebox, console, trunk, under the seats, spare-tire well — a photo of the VIN and odometer, and plates handled per Utah rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Utah sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
