Minor Driver License

                                                       

Every resident of Utah who drives a motor vehicle must have a valid Utah driver license, learner permit or temporary driving permit.

 

Minor License                

         Persons become residents and will need to obtain a driver license if they:

    1. Enter the state with the intention of making Utah their home.
    2. Are gainfully employed in Utah (does not apply if you are on temporary assignment in the State.)
    3. Remain in the state for an aggregate period of six months or more during any calendar year.

         

        

         Nonresidents licensed by another state may drive in Utah if:

    1. They are at least 16 years old.
    2. They will be visiting Utah for no more than a total of 6 months. After that time, they must apply for a Utah driver license.

TIPS FOR PARENTS

 

When applying for a Utah driver license, your privilege to drive cannot be suspended, revoked, disqualified, or denied in another state.

NOTE: For security purposes, in establishing a driver license record, it is essential that information is accurate. The Driver License Division will therefore require original certified documents for an original application.
