If the atv carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released. Utah handles this through a documented sequence that the lienholder, seller, and buyer must complete in order. Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.
Lienholder completes Form TC-843 or the lien release section on the existing Utah title.
Owner submits the lien release with the title and title application at a Utah DMV office.
Pay the title fee and receive a clean Utah title.
