What the Logan Driver's License Division does
The Logan Driver's License Division is the office in Logan, Utah that issues driver's licenses, renewal documents, and identification cards for people who live in or are passing through Cache County. It is run by the Utah Department of Public Safety. If you need a new license, a renewal, a replacement for a lost or damaged card, or a change to your current license, you will go to this office to complete the transaction in person.

Second, bring proof of residency, such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days and showing your name and current address. Third, bring proof of your Social Security number — your Social Security card itself, a tax return, a W-2, or a 1099 form.
If you are renewing a license that is still valid, you may be able to renew by mail or online instead of visiting in person. Check the Utah Department of Public Safety website to see whether your situation qualifies for remote renewal. If you are explore for a new license, changing your address, or have medical or vision concerns, you will need to appear at the office.
Vision testing at the Logan office
The Logan Driver's License Division performs vision screening as part of the licensing process. Utah law requires that you pass a vision test to hold a valid driver's license. The test checks your visual acuity and peripheral vision using equipment at the office — you do not need to bring your own eye exam results, though you may do so if you have a recent one.
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring them with you. If you fail the vision test, the office will not issue or renew your license until you provide documentation from an eye care professional showing that you have been corrected to the required standard. This documentation can come from an optometrist or ophthalmologist and should show your current prescription and that you meet Utah's vision requirements.
Medical documentation and license restrictions
Depending on your age and medical history, you may need to provide medical documentation before the Logan office can issue your license. Drivers over 65 may be asked to submit a medical evaluation form completed by a physician. If you have a condition that affects your ability to drive safely — such as seizures, severe hearing loss, or certain medications — the office may request a report from your doctor before proceeding.
You do not need to bring medical paperwork to your first appointment unless the office has specifically requested it. If the staff identifies a concern during your visit, they will tell you what documentation is needed and give you a important date to submit it. Medical documentation can usually be submitted by mail or in person at a later visit.
How to schedule and what to expect
You can schedule an appointment online through the Utah Department of Public Safety website or by calling the Logan office directly. Scheduling ahead reduces wait times significantly — walk-in appointments may involve a wait of several hours, while scheduled appointments are usually processed within 15 to 30 minutes of your arrival time.
When you arrive, bring all required documents and plan to spend 30 to 45 minutes at the office. You will complete an process form, have your vision tested, have your photograph taken, and pay the applicable fee. If everything is in order, you will receive a temporary license on the spot and your permanent card will arrive by mail within one to two weeks.
Fees and payment methods
The cost of your transaction depends on what you are doing. A new driver's license costs one amount, a renewal costs less, and a replacement for a lost or damaged card costs a different amount. Utah also charges different fees for licenses that are valid for four years versus eight years. The office accepts cash, check, and debit or credit card.
If you are unsure of the exact fee for your situation, call the Logan office or check the Utah Department of Public Safety website before your visit. Knowing the cost ahead of time means you can bring the correct payment method and avoid delays.
What to do if you have a medical condition affecting your driving
If you have a condition that you believe may affect your ability to drive — or if you are concerned that the Logan office may ask for medical documentation — contact your doctor before your appointment. Your physician can complete the required medical evaluation form and provide it to you to bring to the office, which speeds up the process.
Utah allows conditional licenses and restricted licenses for people with certain medical conditions. For example, you may be licensed to drive only during daylight hours, only within a certain distance of your home, or only with corrective lenses. If your condition qualifies for a restriction rather than a denial, the office will note it on your license.
