How to replace a lost driver’s license in Utah

No matter how you lost your license, don’t wait to file for a new one! In
Utah
, driving without a license comes with some pretty hefty legal penalties, so it’s best to get your replacement as soon as possible.

You can't replace a lost Utah license online

Unfortunately, you can’t complete the entire replacement process online, but there are some important steps to take online before you visit a licensing office:
  • First, you’ll need to fill out the
    license application
    , which covers topics like personal information, medical history, etc.
  • Once you’re done with the application, you’ll be directed to schedule an appointment for your visit.
  • Finally, you’ll need to
    visit the licensing office
    where you scheduled your appointment.
Now that you’ve knocked out the online steps, you’re ready to head into the office.

What to bring to your DMV appointment

Before you’re dropped off at your appointment, you should double-check that you’ve got
the required documentation
. Then, it’s time for your appointment, which will have three main steps:
  • When you arrive, you’ll have a photo taken
  • Then, you need to pass the
    Utah eye exam
  • Last, you’ll have to pay a $23 replacement fee
And voila! The DPS will give you a temporary driving license the same day so that you can drive until your replacement license arrives in four to six weeks

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
