What the Utah Driver License App Does
Utah's Driver License app lets you view your license information, check your driving record, and handle some transactions without visiting a Division of Motor Vehicles office. You can see your license status, renewal date, and violation history on your phone. The app also shows whether you have any holds or restrictions on your license, and it lets you request a duplicate license or renew your license in some cases.
The app is free to read and works on both iPhone and Android. You will need your Utah driver license number and a way to verify your identity — usually a PIN or answers to security questions — to log in. Once you are in, you can access your information anytime without scheduling an appointment or waiting in line.

Viewing Your License Information and Driving Record
After you log in, the app's home screen shows your license status — whether it is active, expired, or suspended. You will also see your license expiration date and any restrictions or endorsements on your license, such as corrective lenses or commercial driving privileges.
Tap the "Driving Record" or "Record" section to see your violation history. This shows traffic citations, accidents, and points on your record. The app displays the date of each violation, the type of violation, and the points assigned. This is the same information the DMV has on file about your driving history.
If you see an error or believe information is wrong, note what it is and contact the Division of Motor Vehicles directly. The app shows information only; it does not let you dispute or correct records through the app itself.
Requesting a Duplicate License Through the App
If your license is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can request a duplicate through the app. Open the app, log in, and look for an option labeled "Duplicate License," "Replace License," or "Order a Duplicate." Tap it and follow the prompts.
The app will ask you to confirm your address and choose how you want to receive your new license — usually by mail to your address on file. You may be charged a fee for a duplicate license; the app will show the cost before you complete the request. Review the fee and confirm that you want to proceed.
After you submit your request, the app will give you a confirmation number. Write this down or take a screenshot. Your new license will be mailed to you within the timeframe shown on the confirmation screen, usually one to two weeks. If you need your license sooner, you may need to visit a DMV office in person to request expedited service.
Renewing Your License Using the App
You can renew your license through the app if your license is not suspended or revoked and you meet Utah's renewal requirements. The app will tell you whether you are able to renew online. Open the app, log in, and look for a "Renew License" or "Renewal" button.

The app is a tool for viewing information and handling straightforward transactions like duplicate requests and renewals. For anything more complex, plan to visit an office or call the Division of Motor Vehicles.
Troubleshooting Login and Account Problems

If you have forgotten your PIN or the answers to your security questions, you cannot reset them through the app. You will need to visit a DMV office in person with your license and a photo ID, or call the Division of Motor Vehicles to verify your identity over the phone and reset your account. After your account is reset, you can log in again.
If the app crashes, freezes, or shows an error message, try closing it completely and reopening it. If the problem continues, uninstall the app, restart your phone, and reinstall it from the app store. If you still have trouble, contact the Division of Motor Vehicles directly for support.
