Utah DMV driver's license renewal, online or in person

You can renew a Utah driver's license up to six months before it expires. Utah DMV driver's license renewal is handled by the Driver License Division. If a PIN letter arrives about 90 days before your birthday, you can renew your Utah driver's license online for $42. Otherwise you book a renewal appointment and pay $52. Either way, your new license lasts eight years.

Can you do your Utah DMV driver's license renewal online?

Yes, if you get the PIN letter. Utah's good driver program sends it to drivers with a valid license and no more than six reportable violations in eight years. Use that PIN to renew your Utah driver's license online on the state's renewal page. If you lost the letter, call 801-965-4437.

Who must renew in person

You must go in person if:

  • You renewed online last time.
  • You have citations, a suspension or a revocation.
  • Your license expired more than a year ago. You'll also take the 25-question open-book written test.
  • You have a medical condition on record, or another state has a hold on your license.
  • You have a limited-term license. You'll need to show your lawful presence documents again.

At your renewal appointment

At the appointment you take an eye test and a new photo. If you've moved, bring two proofs of address, unless you updated your address online first. You'll leave with a temporary license, and the card comes in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Renewing before 21
