Move a Self-Propelled Motorhome to Utah
Title and register your motorhome, then check its insurance and emissions requirements.
Prepare the RV or motorhome before the office visit
The government instructions are free. We show a private provider only when it is authorized for this vehicle and task.
- 1. Check when the application becomes due
Register within 60 days after becoming a Utah resident. Residency can arise from domicile, six months of physical presence, nonseasonal Utah work, a resident-only privilege, or a Utah driver license; temporary military, qualifying student, and unpaid service exceptions may apply.
- 2. Prepare the correct ownership record
Bring the out-of-state title. If a lienholder keeps it, use your current registration and lienholder information for Utah's registration-only process.
- 3. Complete identification and inspection
A first Utah registration requires a VIN inspection on Form TC-661 unless the motorhome is new and was acquired from an in-state dealer or manufacturer. Complete an emissions inspection only if the motorhome and county are covered by Utah's program.
- 4. Register the correct vehicle class
Register the self-propelled motorhome and maintain Utah-required insurance. Register every towed vehicle or trailer separately.
Check the exact vehicle class
This guide covers a self-propelled motorhome. Use the trailer guide for a travel trailer or fifth wheel.
