How to get a Utah state ID card

A Utah state ID card is issued by the Driver License Division, costs $23 and lasts five years, as of October 2026. You book an ID card appointment, bring proof of identity, your Social Security number and your Utah address, and get a temporary card the same day. The card itself comes by mail in about 4 to 6 weeks.

How do you get a Utah state ID?

  1. Fill in the ID card application online and book an appointment.
  2. Bring proof of identity and lawful status, proof of your Social Security number, and two proofs of your Utah address dated within 90 days.
  3. Under 16, bring a parent or legal guardian to sign.
  4. Have your photo taken and pay the fee. You'll get a temporary card that day.

Who can get one

Only Utah residents. U.S. citizens get a regular ID card. Other people with verified lawful presence get a limited-term ID card. A driving privilege card holder isn't eligible for a Utah ID card.

Can you have a Utah state ID and a driver's license?

No. Utah law doesn't let you hold a driver's license and an ID card at the same time, and you can't hold two REAL ID cards from different states either. If you stop driving, you can hand in a valid Utah license once for a free ID card.
