Utah Department of Public Safety

Who would think that going to the DMV would be an easy experience?
After putting off getting my licence renewed until the last possible moment, I went online to see the hours for the location and saw that I could make an appointment online and fill out the application as well and for the cherry on top, update my address! I was floored and something that I thought was going to take a decent amount of my day, I was able to do online and it only took ten minutes. I still had to go in to finish the entire process, but once I was in the building and checked in, I was at a counter right after sitting down. The desk agent I had was super friendly and helpful and got the whole process done for me in five minutes and I was able to be in and out.
The moral of my story is to just make sure to check in online and everything will be a breeze.

Surprisingly quick and efficient flow with friendly people staffing the counters. The requirements to prove your identity and residence are strenuous, but it’s to be expected. The written test is kind of silly. A bare 25 questions, some of which are common sense and some of which are a little ridiculous. It is «open book,» meaning you can sit there and hunt for answers with no time limit. I swear that some of the questions aren’t addressed in that book, but with a little of the aforementioned common sense you’ll get through it just fine.

My boyfriend told me to turn in my CCP form here because it is faster. Yep, he is right. I got my license after 60 days exactly.
All my friend turned the form to the instructor instead of going to Utah Department of Public Safety, they still haven’t got their license yet! haha…

Make an appointment, make an appointment, make an appointment.
That is all.

Well. its a place that we all have to visit at one time or another when it concerns a drivers license. This was my first visit in Utah, and overall not a bad experience. Yeah, its a real pain having to bring in all the supporting documentation to prove you are who you are, and that you have a legal presence in the US and the State of Utah, but September 11^th brought on that requirement, not an elected official. So, check the website, it tells ya what you need along with some forms you can fill out and print which should speed up the process. From the time I entered the front door until the time I paid my fees, 40 minutes had passed as a walk-​in which included a few smiles and «thank yous» thrown in for good measure. Tip: making an appointment cuts the wait A LOT from what I observed. The worst part, I got thrown in the testing pool! Ugh. it was open book, but scanning thru 40+ pages to ensure the right answer (Im not dumb, I dont want to have to re-​test) ate up another 40 minutes. Only drawback… I didnt receive a hard copy license when walking out, only a paper license, but I dont consider that a bad thing.
