DEFERRAL INSTRUCTIONS AND APPLICATION
Please read these instructions in their entirety before proceeding with your application!
If your vehicle is registered in Utah, but temporarily located outside of the State, you may request an emissions deferral from the Department to renew your vehicle registration. This can be done by completing the application below and submitting the supporting documents that verify the vehicle is currently located outside the State.
If the vehicle is located within 60 miles of a jurisdiction where emission testing is available (section A) then only a passing emissions test from that jurisdiction will be accepted by the department. To find out if you are located within 60 miles of a testing jurisdiction please see the instructions labeled “Section A”. If the vehicle is located more than 60 miles from a jurisdiction where emission testing is available, then alternative supporting documents can be accepted. Please proceed to “Section B”
This is a “web-based” process; all supporting documents must be in PDF or Image (.jpg, .png) format and less than 10MB in file size. If your submission of the application was successful, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address provided. If you don't receive this email, please check your junk/spam folders. Deferral applications are processed in the order in which they are received; no expedited processing is available. Please allow 72 hours to process your application.
***IMPORTANT NOTES***
-
The vehicle must pass a Utah emissions inspection within 10 days of its return to Utah.
-
Emissions test or VIN inspections older than 60 days from the date of submission will not be accepted.
-
Documents that are not legible, complete in their entirety, or have been altered in any way (i.e., redacted, damaged, etc.) will not be accepted.
-
When a deferral application requires the use of the Out of State Vehicle Verification Form. The inspecting officer must provide the official agency stamp or business card in the box on the form. Out of state Vehicle Verification Forms submitted without this information will result in a denied deferral application.
-
DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS FOR REGISTRATION TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!
-
If you have any questions, please contact the Weber-Morgan Health Department by phone at 801-399-7140 or by email at weberemissions@co.weber.ut.us
SECTION A
LOCATED WITHIN 60 MILES OF A JURISDICTION WITH EMISSION TESTING REQUIREMENTS
