To obtain a Driver License in the State of Utah, you must be 16 years of age.
If you are under 18 years of age there are a few requirements that will need to be met before receiving your privilege to drive.
- Have you held a Utah learner permit for a minimum of 6 months?
- Have you completed an approved driver education course?
- Every applicant who is under 18 years of age must have the application signed by one of his/her parents or guardian. If no person has custody, then a responsible adult who is willing to assume responsibility for the minor may sign. The person who signs should realize that his/her signature is a legal assumption of financial responsibility for the applicant's driving privilege. If cancelled, this privilege may be regained only through proper assumption of responsibility and the payment of another fee. The applicant may also be required to retake all tests;
- The same parent or legal guardian signing for financial responsibility must also sign off that the minor has completed 40 hours of drive time, 10 of which are to be after dark;
- Appear at licensing office;
- Have photo taken at the Driver License Division;
- Complete an application, (fill out our online application and print ahead of time);
- Present learner permit and documents required;
- Pay applicable fees;
- Written and driving tests
Once you have met these requirements, you are ready to take on the road with some restrictions.
When applying for a Utah driver license, your privilege to drive cannot be suspended, revoked, disqualified, or denied in another state.
After all requirements for a license have been successfully completed, you will receive a temporary photo license on the same day. The completed license will then be mailed to you in approximately three weeks.
