Enter any Utah license plate number and get the VIN, title status, accident history, and market value in under 30 seconds
Looking for the VIN?
Here is there you’ll find it:
A Utah license plate lookup service allows you to enter a vehicle's license plate number. Instantly retrieve the VIN and key information (make, model, year).
Plate-to-VIN Match
EpicVIN instantly resolves a Utah plate to the vehicle’s 17-character vehicle identification number - no manual VIN decoding required.
Instant Check
We cross-check NMVTIS and trusted partner records for Utah vehicles, surfacing title brands, registration events, theft/salvage activity, and emissions history.
Vehicle History Report
Get a quick snapshot for Utah vehicles: accidents/damage, title status, mileage readings (incl. emissions results where available), and open recalls - without exposing personal owner details.
Expect to see the VIN, basic vehicle specs, and any reported incidents (e.g., accidents, salvage titles, or recalls). Private owner details are not included, keeping the process legal and privacy-safe.
Reports don’t provide the owner’s name or address, live ALPR location, or driver’s license or insurance numbers. Under the DPPA and applicable state privacy law, results are for vehicle information only and not for FCRA-regulated (Fair Credit Reporting Act) decisions (credit, employment, tenant screening).
A Utah license plate lookup uses the tag number to query public vehicle records. Enter the number and select Utah. As one of the leading license plate lookup services, EpicVIN resolves the VIN and compiles the record from NMVTIS and partner sources (including emissions history where available).
Works with standard, personalized, and special group Utah plates; temporary tags may not return a VIN until registered.

| Indicator | Utah | Potential Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Accidents/Damage | ≈60,021 cases in 2023 (the latest official statewide statistics) | Hidden damage, reduced safety, and resale value. |
| Theft | High theft incidence (117 per 100,000 in 2024) | Elevated theft risk; possible loss/confiscation and complications for insurance companies. |
| Salvage/Rebuilt Titles | No official statewide statistics | Serious prior damage; residual defects and safety concerns. |
| Odometer (mileage) | No official statewide statistics | Mileage fraud risk; overpayment and unexpected repairs. |
| Open Recalls | Many open recalls — ~20.26% (≈625,000 vehicles in 2022) | Unresolved safety defects; increased accident risk until fixed. |
| Inspection/Emissions Patterns | Davis County 2024: gasoline 6.6%, diesel 8.6%; ~6.85% overall (county data, not statewide). | Engine/emissions issues; costly repairs and registration delays. |
The Utah DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles) can release a registration-focused record via TC-890/online for permitted purposes, but it’s slower and centered on current registration. EpicVIN delivers instant, multi-source vehicle history (NMVTIS title/brand/lien), plus, where available, county emissions entries that add mileage/inspection timestamps.
Do your diligence: before you buy, confirm any critical flags using NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup so you know what’s real.Alex Black, CMO & auto expert, EpicVIN
In Utah, license plate costs are part of registration at the Utah State Tax Commission - Division of Motor Vehicles. Standard plate fees are separate from ongoing registration taxes and uniform fees. Key resources are on the License Plates for Vehicles page (https://dmv.utah.gov/plates/license-plates/) and the Motor Vehicle Forms & Publications library (https://tax.utah.gov/forms-pubs/mv-forms).
Are two plates required in UT? For most vehicles, the rear plate only. Commercial vehicles may optionally purchase two plates as a set. Statute also lets a registrant request two plates; as of 2026, most passenger vehicles are issued a single rear plate.
Fines: Penalties for plate/registration violations range from ~$50–$170 under the Utah Uniform Fine Schedule (offense-dependent).

Double-check the entry (0 vs O, I vs 1) and make sure Utah is selected. Very new or temporary tags may not be linked yet - try later or use the VIN. You can contact our support via chat or email.
Temporary tags and freshly issued plates often aren’t in statewide databases yet. Ask the seller for the vehicle identification number or retry in a few days.
Yes. We don’t notify anyone about your lookup, and we don’t display vehicle owner PII. Results focus on the vehicle and its license plate information, not personal identity.
No. Plate-to-VIN matching uses the plate number and state; the rear-only rule doesn’t change database matching or search logic.
No. Owner lookup is restricted under the DPPA and Utah policies. Plate tools provide vehicle records and title/brand data, not names/addresses.
Special group designs still resolve. Just enter the alphanumeric plate number exactly as printed - don’t include graphics or separators.
No. Background art doesn’t affect data. Enter the license plate number; results return VIN, title history, and vehicle information the same way.
Yes - run a license plate search to screen inventory quickly, then review a full vehicle history report for any Utah listing that interests you.
We comply with the Driver Privacy Protection Act and keep lookups private; we don’t sell your search to third parties.
Use the full VIN decode to confirm vehicle specifications. Small mismatches can be due to option packages. Compare against the dash VIN and door-jamb label.
Where available, county emissions records may appear and help validate mileage and maintenance patterns.
No, searches are statewide by plate number and state selection. Use the exact plate and the Utah setting for best results.
