A trailer is being transferred separate from the towing vehicle. Trailers often have different titling rules than motor vehicles, including different weight thresholds that trigger title requirements.
Many states require trailers to be titled and registered separately from the towing vehicle once they exceed a weight threshold (commonly 1,000–3,000 lbs GVWR). If your trailer has a title, complete the title transfer. If it does not (because it is below the threshold), a bill of sale is the primary ownership document.
Confirm whether the trailer is titled in your state and whether the seller has the title. If moving the trailer across state lines, check the destination state's titling threshold — you may need to obtain a title even if the selling state did not require one. Verify the VIN or HIN plate on the trailer matches the title or documentation.
No. Utah does not require notarization, though it is recommended for high-value trailer sold separately transactions in Cache County.
