How do I apply for a UT drivers license if I am 18 or older? Utah

New Driver Checklist
This varies a bit, according to whether you've ever held a drivers license from another state or country.

If you have, you typically won't have to complete the usual driver education requirement or take the driving test. Otherwise, you'll have to do both.

UT Drivers License Process

  1. Complete a state-approved driver education class.
  2. Pass a written license test.*
  3. Pass a vision test.
  4. Complete a medical questionnaire.
  5. Get your learners license.
  6. Pass a driving test.
  7. Get your Utah driver license.
*NOTE: After studying the Utah driver license handbook, it can be beneficial to take a practice test or two to further prepare for the written license test.

The order of the process can differ. For instance, the road test may be a part of your driver training class. As someone who is at least 18, you do not have to hold your learners permit for a minimum amount of time before applying for your license.

Required Driver License Documents

When applying for your license at the DPS office, bring the following:

  • Proof of identity (birth certificate) – must be certified or original copies.
  • Proof of legal presence.
  • Two proofs of residence (if your address isn't the same as on your Utah record).
  • Proof of name change (if applicable).
  • Social Security number or ITIN.
See the DPS site for a list of approved documents.
