Adult License

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

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.
