It may seem obvious to the more experienced of you, but do not go to the scrap yard without ID.

Every scrap yard in Utah (and the rest of the US in fact) must check your ID before any transaction. A copy of this will need to be kept on record for any sale over $30. Along with your ID the scrap yard will note the vehicle that you arrived in, including its license plate number. A photograph of you at the time of the transaction and your fingerprints.
