What information do I need for an ID Card?
Please refer to our Positive Identification page for documentation needed to obtain a Utah State Identification Card. There is an $18 charge for each identification card issued. (An out-of-state ID is not acceptable proof of identification.)
Do I have to have a social security card to apply for a first time Utah ID?
Yes.
Does an Identification Card ever expire?
Yes; the ID Card expires five years following issuance of the card. All Utah Identification cards issued with an ITIN expired on July 1, 2005.
Do I have to notify Driver License if I move and get a new card?
Yes; you must notify Driver License either in writing or by phone within 10 days of moving. Although, it is not necessary to replace the card as long as the Driver License Division has been notified. After notifying Driver License, you must write your new address on the back of your ID card with tape or a sticker (must be secured to the back.)
Yes; however, If you are under the age of 16, a parent or legal guardian must accompany you to obtain an ID so they can sign.
Do I have to take a test to obtain an ID?
No.
What if I lost my Utah ID card?
For a duplicate ID, you must appear at a licensing office and present original or copies certified by the issuing agency showing evidence of identity, legal/lawful presence, social security number, two proofs of Utah residence, if it is different than the address on your current Utah record, and evidence of name change, if applicable. The fee is $18.00 and will be valid for 5 years.
