The Utah driving privilege card (DPC)

The driving privilege card in Utah, or DPC, lets residents who can't show lawful presence in the U.S. drive legally. It costs $32 plus a $30 fingerprint fee, and it expires on your birthday each year. It works like a Class D license for driving, but it isn't ID, and it doesn't cover motorcycles or commercial vehicles.

Who qualifies for a driving privilege card in Utah?

Utah residents 16 or older who can't establish lawful presence under REAL ID, including people without a Social Security number who have an ITIN, and some parolees. If you've never been licensed, you get a learner permit first, just like any new driver.

How to apply

  1. Get a fingerprint card and photo from a law enforcement agency or approved vendor. This is only needed for your first card.
  2. Gather proof of identity, such as a foreign birth certificate or passport with a certified translation, plus a second document like a matricular consular card issued in Utah, your SSN or ITIN, and two proofs of your Utah address.
  3. Book an appointment: adult original if you're 21 or older, minor original if you're 20 or younger.
  4. At the office, take the eye test and the written test: 50 questions closed book if you've never been licensed, 25 open book if you have.
  5. If you've never been licensed, pass the Traffic Safety and Trends Exam and a road test.

No driving until the card arrives

Utah doesn't issue a temporary DPC. After testing you get a receipt, but it isn't a driving document, so you can't drive until the plastic card arrives by mail, in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Language and fees

The DPC page says all tests are in English only, and translation materials aren't allowed. Fees as of October 2026: $32 for the first card plus $30 for fingerprints, and $23 each year to renew or replace it.
