Driver’s license help
An arrest, a DUI, unpaid fines, or time spent in custody can suspend a license or let it expire. Here is where to check where things stand, what it takes to get driving legally again, and how to request a hearing.
Utah Driver License Division
The official state agency, part of the Utah Department of Public Safety. Everything below is handled on its website or at a Driver License office.
- License status & reinstatement — find out whether a license is valid, suspended, revoked, or denied, and what is required (and owed) to reinstate it.
- Driver license hearings — request a hearing after a DUI arrest, refusal, or other action against a license.
- Driving records — order an official motor vehicle record (MVR) for court, an employer, or an attorney.
- Renew, replace, or get an ID card — for licenses that expired or were lost while someone was in custody.
- Office locations & appointments — schedule a visit for testing or services that need to be done in person.

Good to know
General guidance only — the agency’s own notice and website always take priority.
Hearing deadlines are short. After a DUI arrest in Utah, the window to request a driver license
hearing is only days long (typically 10 days from the arrest). Check the notice you were given and the Driver
License Division right away — a missed deadline usually means the suspension goes ahead automatically.

Court and license actions are separate. A criminal case in court and an action against a driver
license are handled by different agencies. Resolving one does not automatically resolve the other — follow up with both.
DUI arrests & your license — the two tracks explained
Unpaid fines or a missed court date can lead to a suspension. Contact the court that handled the
case to clear it, then check reinstatement requirements with the Driver License Division.
