Public Information Office
English Only Test
Effective September 2, 2008, the Driver License Division will only be offering the written exam in English. This change is in regards to Utah Law 53-3-206(1)(c) and to ensure the safety of the driver license examiner and applicant. To assist in the testing process, applicants may bring a translation dictionary (no electronic devices allowed) with them when taking the written exam. Upon successful completion of the written exam, the applicant will be required to pass a driving test. Authorized third party testers may offer the driving test in other languages. For a list of authorized testers, visit our web site at www.driverlicense.utah.gov.
For those individuals that have already obtained a Utah driving privilege, they will not be required to re-take the written test unless their privilege has been suspended, revoked or denied. Also, if the individual has been convicted of 2 or more moving violations within the previous year or more than 4 in the previous five years, they will be required to re-take the written test.
