Dismantler Plates

Dismantler plates allow a dismantler to operate any motor vehicle on the highways solely for transporting the vehicle from the place where it is legally acquired to the dismantler's place of business or to a crusher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drive a vehicle on a dismantler plate?

Yes, but only while transporting a vehicle from the point of purchase to the dismantling yard or crusher (41-3-501 UCA).

If the registration on a vehicle I am taking to my yard is still good, do I still have to use a dismantler plate?

Yes, once a vehicle is sold, its registration expires.

Can I put the plate on the back of my wrecker instead of the towed vehicle?

No, the plate must be attached to the vehicle (41-3-501 UCA).

How many dismantler plates may I have?

Dismantlers, transporters, and manufacturers may have as many special plates as state law allows, or as many as the MVED determines is required for them to conduct their business.

What if a dismantler plate is lost or stolen?

Lost or stolen plates should be reported immediately with a written notice that must be mailed or faxed to MVED. The dealership's local police department or sheriff's office should also be notified. If the plate was stolen, please also list your local police agency's case number in your written notification (41-3-507 UCA).
