Utah rules for a boat donation

TITLING AND REGISTRATION AGENCY
Utah Division of Motor Vehicles
Visit the agency site
Titles and registration
The Utah DMV titles and registers boats, with Utah State Parks setting boating rules.
Aquatic invasive species
Utah requires mussel decontamination for many launches.
Trailers
Trailers are titled and registered through the DMV.
Lost title or registration
The owner on record can usually get a duplicate from Utah Division of Motor Vehicles. If the boat was never retitled after a sale, or the owner has passed away, tell us and we will point you to the right forms.
Coast Guard documented vessels
Documented boats transfer through the National Vessel Documentation Center with a bill of sale, not a Utah title. Some documented boats are also registered with the state for use here.
