Renew Adult Identification Card (ID)

1 – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • You can renew your Utah identification card six (6) months before the expiration date.
  • You can renew early if you provide proof of your absence from the state during the six (6) month period prior to the expiration date.
  • If you renew before your 21st birthday, your ID card will still show minor.  You would not be issued an “adult” ID card until on or after your 21st birthday.
  • An identification (ID) card is not a license to drive, it is for identification purposes only.

  • Bring your current Utah ID card with your or something with your name on it.

Has Your Name Changed

If the name on your driver license or identity card is different than the name on your identity document (e.g., birth certificate, amended 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.
