Renew Adult Limited-Term Identification Card (ID)

1 – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • You can renew your Utah limited-term ID card six (6) months before the expiration date.
  • Online renewal is not an option for a limited-term ID card.
  • If you renew before your 21st birthday, your limited-term ID will still show minor.  You would not be issued an “adult” ID card until on or after your 21st birthday.

2 – WHAT IS THE PROCESS

  • Fill out an online application and schedule an appointment to visit a driver license office.
  • When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, have your confirmation number ready to check in, and then you will take a photo.
  • After your photo, you will have a seat; when your number is called, you will present your documents to the examiner, and pay the non-refundable fee of $23.00.

3 – WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Bring your current Utah limited-term ID card.
  • Bring your current lawful presence identity document.
    • A S.A.V.E. verification will be run to verify your document status (this process may take up to 14 days.)  To understand S.A.V.E verifications, click here.
  • Bring two (2) documents providing proof of your Utah address if you have moved from the last known address on your ID card. You can avoid providing proof if you submit your address change online prior to your scheduled appointment.

Has Your Name Changed

If the name on your identification card is different than the name on your identity document (e.g., birth certificate or passport), it must be accompanied by legal documentation authorizing the name change.   These include a certified state marriage certificate, divorce decree, updated passport, amended birth certificate, adoption paperwork, citizenship/naturalization certificate, or court documents indicating the name change sealed by the court.

5 – WHEN DO I GET MY ID CARD

  • A temporary limited-term identification card with a photo will be issued on the same day.  
  • The completed identification card will have an expiration date of your legal presence document or five (5) years, whichever is sooner; or 1-year from the date of issuance if there is no expiration date, and will then be mailed to you in approximately 4-6 weeks.

Note: By law, you may not possess more than one REAL ID compliant certificate at a time (e.g., a Utah driver license and a Colorado ID.)
