Where the Farmington office is and what it handles

The Driver License Division office in Farmington, Utah is located at 50 South Main Street, Farmington, UT 84025. This is a full-service office run by the Utah Driver License Division, which means you can handle most driver license transactions there — getting your first license, renewing, replacing a lost or damaged license, and updating your address.

Farmington is in Davis County, north of Salt Lake City. If you live in that area, this office is usually closer than driving to Salt Lake City or Ogden. The office is not a kiosk or limited-service location; it has staff who can process applications and issue licenses on the same day in most cases.

Key Takeaways

  • The Farmington office is at 50 South Main Street and handles new licenses, renewals, replacements, and address changes.
  • You must bring a valid form of identification, proof of residency, and your Social Security number or ITIN to any transaction.
  • Hours and wait times change seasonally, so call ahead at the office or check the Utah Driver License Division website before you go.
  • If you need a Real ID-compliant license, bring an original or certified birth certificate plus a passport, passport card, or consular report of birth abroad.
  • You can renew your license by mail or online if it is not expired and you have not had a suspension or medical restriction added since your last renewal.

What documents you need to bring

Every transaction at the Farmington office requires three things: a valid form of identification, proof that you live in Utah, and your Social Security number or ITIN. A valid ID can be a passport, military ID, tribal ID, or another state's driver license. Proof of residency can be a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days and showing your name and address.

If you are getting your first license or a Real ID-compliant license, you also need to prove your identity and citizenship or legal residency. Bring an original or certified birth certificate, a passport, a passport card, or a consular report of birth abroad. If your name has changed since your birth certificate was issued, bring a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the change.

Bring your Social Security card if you have one, or be ready to provide your number from memory. If you do not have a Social Security number, bring your ITIN letter from the IRS.

Hours, wait times, and how to prepare before you go

The Farmington office is open Monday through Friday, but hours vary by season and can change without notice. Call the office directly at the number listed on the Utah Driver License Division website, or check the website for current hours before you make the trip. Wait times are typically shorter on weekday mornings and longer on Thursdays and Fridays.

You do not need an appointment at the Farmington office, but you can request one through the Utah Driver License Division website if you want to reduce your wait time. Walk-ins are served on a first-come, first-served basis. If the office is very busy, staff may stop taking new customers an hour or two before closing time.

Bring all your documents with you. The office staff will tell you when ready if something is missing, and you will have to come back another day if you cannot get it. Having everything ready means you can finish your transaction in one visit.

Getting your first license at Farmington

If you are 16 or 17 and getting your first license, you must pass a written test, a vision test, and a driving test. The written test covers Utah traffic laws and road signs. You can study for it using the Utah Driver License Division handbook, which is free online. The vision test happens at the office. The driving test is scheduled separately and happens at a testing location — the Farmington office staff will tell you where and when you can take it.

You must also bring a parent or guardian to sign your process if you are under 18. If you are 18 or older, you can explore on your own. Bring all the documents listed above, plus proof that you have completed a driver education course if you are under 18 (a certificate from the course provider).

The written and vision tests happen the same day you explore. If you pass both, you will get a temporary license to drive while you wait for your permanent license to arrive by mail. The permanent license usually arrives within 10 business days.

Renewing your license by mail or online instead of in person

If your license is not expired and you have not had a suspension or medical restriction added since your last renewal, you can renew by mail or online instead of going to the Farmington office. Renewing online is faster — you can do it from home, and your new license arrives by mail within 10 business days. Renewing by mail takes longer because the Division has to process your paperwork by hand.

To renew online, go to the Utah Driver License Division website and follow the renewal link. You will need your current license number, your date of birth, and a payment method. The fee for a renewal is the same whether you do it online, by mail, or in person.

If your license is expired, you cannot renew online or by mail — you must go to the office in person. The same is true if you have had a suspension, a medical restriction, or a name change since your last renewal.

Replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged license

If your license is lost, stolen, or damaged, go to the Farmington office with your ID and proof of residency. You do not need your Social Security card for a replacement, but you do need to provide your number. The office will issue you a temporary license on the spot, and your permanent replacement arrives by mail within 10 business days.

If your license was stolen, you can also report it to the police and ask for a report number. Bring that number with you to the office — it helps the Division flag your old license so it cannot be used fraudulently. You are not required to file a police report to get a replacement, but it is a good idea if you think someone might try to use your license.

Updating your address without getting a new license

If you moved within Utah and want to update your address on your current license, you can do it at the Farmington office without getting a new license card. Bring your license, your ID, and proof of your new address. The office will update your record in the system, and a new card with your updated address will arrive by mail within 10 business days. There is no fee for an address change.

You can also update your address online through the Utah Driver License Division website if you do not want to go to the office. The online process is faster and costs nothing.
