A regular driver license is the most common Class D issued to drive motor vehicles (not a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) or motorcycle.)  Every resident of Utah who drives a motor vehicle on the highways must have a valid Utah license, learner permit, or temporary driving permit.  A regular adult driver is 21 and over, and the minor "provisional" driver is 20 and under.

You become a resident and will need a Utah license if you:

• Enter the state to make Utah your home.
• Remain the state for six months or more during any calendar year.
• Obtain a driver license or register a motor vehicle in Utah.
• Obtain privileges not extended to non-residents, including school tuition.
• Are gainfully employed in Utah (this does not apply if you are on a temporary assignment in the state.)

Non-residents licensed by another state or country may drive in Utah if:

• At least 16 years of age.
• Temporarily assigned by an employer, religious, or private organization, or government entity.
• Military personnel and dependents who are temporarily assigned in Utah.

Under Utah law, you are responsible for refraining from driving if there is any uncertainty about your physical, mental, or emotional status, which may affect driving safety.  If the condition persists, you are responsible for reporting it to the Driver License Division.

When applying for a Utah driver license, your privilege to drive cannot be suspended, revoked, disqualified, or denied in another state.
