Easier recording for sealed government property documents

Beginning May 6, 2026, qualifying Utah state or local-government property documents can be recorded without an acknowledgment or jurat. These are certificates confirming a signature or sworn statement. The exception covers documents or certified copies that show or affect property ownership rights. They must have been signed under the law then in effect and bear Utah’s Great Seal as state law requires. Other Utah state or local-government documents generally still need an acknowledgment or jurat.
