NOTE: As of December 21, 2009 the renewal-by-mail and renewal-by-internet option was discontinued due to changes in legislation.  Please click here to print a brochure for more information on what is required to renew your Utah driver license.

To renew your Utah driver license you can visit any one of our licensing offices to renew in person.  You can renew your driver license 6 months prior to your license expiring.

To renew an out-of-state driver license you must appear in one of our licensing offices and obtain an original Utah driver license.

 

WHAT DO I NEED TO RENEW MY UTAH LICENSE IN A LICENSING OFFICE:

• You will need to complete an application, (fill out our online application and print ahead of time);
• Have photo taken at the Driver License Division;
• Furnish your current UT state driver license;
• Provide documentation that is required;
• Complete a medical questionnaire and eye exam;
• Pay applicable fees;
• (A 25 question written knowledge test may be required if you have had more than 4 citations in 5 years, have been suspended or revoked, or your license has been expired for more than 6 months)

WHAT DO I NEED TO RENEW MY OUT-OF-STATE LICENSE IN A LICENSING OFFICE:

• You will need to complete an application, (fill out our online application and print ahead of time);
• Have photo taken at the Driver License Division;
• Furnish your VALID out-of-state driver license;
• Provide documentation that is required;
• Complete a medical questionnaire and eye exam;
• Pay applicable fees;
• Take a 25 question written knowledge test (open book), (road test may be required if your license has been expired more than 5 years)

If your Utah driver license will expire while you are temporarily out of state, you can apply to renew your Utah driver license more than six months prior to the expiration date if you provide proof that you will be absent from the state during the six-month period prior to the expiration date of the license.  You will also need to provide documents required for the renewal process (refer to the positive identification page on these requirements.)

When renewing/applying for a Utah driver license, your privilege to drive cannot be suspended, revoked, disqualified, or denied in another state. Your out-of-state driver license must be surrendered upon application for a Utah license.

NOTE: Those applying for a Commercial Driver License (CDL) should contact a CDL office for Commercial licensing information.

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.
