- If you are 17 or younger, it’s mandatory to complete a driver education course and hold the permit for six months.
- If you're 18, driver education is mandatory, but the six-month waiting period with the learner permit is not required.
- If you're over 19, driver education is not obligatory, but you must hold your learner permit for 90 days if you don’t complete a driver education course.
Your license will be provisional until you turn 21 years old.
Once you've completed the learner permit application, you can schedule an appointment for your visit at any Utah Driver License office. If you are under 19, please note that you are required to complete 27 hours of high school classroom instruction, or 18 hours of private school instruction, or 30 hours of a Utah-approved online course to prepare for the written test.
