Replacing a lost car title in Utah
Utah charges $6.00 on Form TC-123 and offers every filing route a seller could want.
What Utah charges
The replacement title fee is $6. Form TC-123, Application for Duplicate Utah Title — $6.00, filed online through the Motor Vehicle Portal, by mail, or in person at a DMV office.
That figure comes from Utah Division of Motor Vehicles (a division of the Utah State Tax Commission), read from its own page and current as of August 2026. The hub compares all fifty states if you want to see where Utah sits — the spread runs from $5 to $101, which is wider than most people expect for the same piece of paper.
The part that catches people out
Online through the Motor Vehicle Portal, by post, or in person at a DMV office — all three take the same application at the same price. At $6.00 Utah sits just above New Mexico as one of the cheapest replacements in the country, and unlike several of the cheap states it does not claw the difference back through county add-ons or mandatory notarisation.
