Temporary Permits
Obtaining a Temporary Permit
Request and print a 30-day temporary operating permit if your registration has expired or will expire within 7 days and you need to drive your vehicle to complete required safety and emission inspections.
- Fee for temporary permit = $6.00 state permit fee + applicable renewal fees.
- You will be able to print the permit once you have paid the required fees.
If you are notified that your vehicle does not qualify for an online temporary permit, you'll need to obtain a permit through the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles.
Finalizing a Registration after Obtaining a Temporary Permit
After obtaining a temporary permit, the registration can be completed at a participating On The Spot Station or by going to Renewal Express. Registration decals will be mailed to you if the registration is completed with Renewal Express, or you can receive them immediately at participating OTS stations.
- If you have already received a temporary permit through a DMV office, Renewal Express or a participating On The Spot Station, you cannot get a second temporary permit online.
- If you finalize your registration through Renewal Express, you will receive a second 30-day temporary registration so you can operate your vehicle while waiting to receive your decals in the mail.
