ADULT ORIGINAL DRIVER LICENSE - NEVER LICENSED BEFORE

  1. What You Need to Know

    Before applying for your first-time Utah driver license you will need to:

    Step 1: Apply for your Utah learner permit.
    Step 2: Complete the Traffic Safety and Trends exam and pass with 100%.  Do not take this exam until you have been issued your learner permit (you need your learner permit number to register for the exam.)
    Step 3: After you have met the learner permit requirements, you will schedule your driving skills test or license appointment below.

  2. What You Need to Do

    • Fill out an online application and schedule an appointment to visit a driver license office.
    • When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, have your confirmation number ready to check in, and then you will take a photo.
    • After your photo, you will have a seat; when your number is called, you will present your documents to the examiner, take an eye test, and pay the non-refundable fee of $52.00.
    • If any test is required, you will take it at this time.
  3. What You Need to Bring

    • Bring your learner permit if you have it (no other documents are required if already verified when applying for your learner permit.)
    • If documents were not already verified:
    • If you completed driver education, the information will be electronically submitted to the Driver License Division.
  4. When Do I Get My License?

    • A temporary license with a photo will be issued on the same day.  
    • The completed license with an 8-year expiration date will be mailed to you in approximately 4-6 weeks.
  5. Attention: By law, you may not possess more than one REAL ID-compliant certificate at a time (e.g., a Utah license and a Colorado ID.)
