Registering a car can feel like a tricky process, especially if you’ve recently moved. If you’re living in Utah, you must register your car with the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). When you move to Utah or buy a vehicle from a private-party, you’ll need to visit the DMV to apply for a new registration. However, you have the option to renew a registration online or in person. Additionally, you don’t need to register the vehicle yourself if you bought a car from a dealer.
