temporary registration?

[Jinx]

It seems like in the state of Utah we can get a temporary registration for a vehicle that gives you two weeks to get it inspected.

Anyone have some details?

I don't know if I am going to have time to get Joey's rig registered before WOTR

I just did it yesterday. You have to pay for the registration like normal, and if you don't have safety and emissions done yet they'll give you a temporary tag you tape into your back window.

Yep.. Go in and pay the taxes and registration fee's.. Tell them you need a temp tag until you can get it inspected..

Thank you for bringing this topic up. I will be needing to do this for my sidekick soon so I can drive it down to provo and have it tested.

What's the word on rigs that are obviously not street legal? Like if you put a 2 week temp on Jinxspots FJ40? Are you still technically "legal" because you have a 2 week "hall pass"?

Yes and No..
I think you are clear of a "No Registration" ticket, but that wont stop a no mud flaps/fenders ticket.. or a no blinker ticket.. or any other thing an officer could hit you with

I wasn't sure. I figured you could say "yeah but I am driving it to a shop to get that stuff fixed for my inspection" and you would have two weeks of basically stuff like that.

And you'll still need proof of insurance If you get pulled over

Perfect, thanks guys...

Maybe I just need to put it on a trailer and go the homebuilt OHV tag on it...

It seems like taking them down there is the fastest way to do it...

Anyone had any experience.?

Then you get a fix it ticket. You have to prove the work was done or they won't waive the fee.

I put a temp tag on my old XJ that was cut in half the first time I took it took it to EJS. It was pretty funny. I later registered it OHV. I just started on the paperwork for making my current one OHV today and I'm amazed by how little the DMV knows about it. I'm pretty much telling them what I need to do rather than the other way around.
