If your vehicle is registered in Utah but temporarily located outside of the state, you may request an emissions deferral to renew your vehicle registration. The Vehicle Emissions Deferral Request Form and required documents verifying the vehicle’s location is outside the state will assist the Health Department in processing your request.

Verification of Vehicle Location

Vehicles located in areas WITH Emission Requirements

If your vehicle is located in an area where emissions inspections are required you must obtain and include a copy of the Vehicle Emissions Certificate from that program along with the deferral request form.

Vehicles located in areas WITHOUT Emission Requirements

If your vehicle's located in an area where emissions inspections are NOT required, you must provide a completed VIN Inspection Form as evidence that the vehicle’s located out of state. You can use the following link to obtain a VIN Inspection form: Utah VIN Inspection Form.

Military Service

If your vehicle's located outside of Utah because of Military service, you must upload a copy of your Active Military Orders indicating your requirement to be in your current location.

DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS FOR REGISTRATION TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
