Where the Farmington Driver's License Division Office Is Located

The Utah Driver's License Division office in Farmington is at 1 South State Street, Farmington, Utah 84025. It sits in Davis County, about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City. If you live in northern Utah County or southern Davis County, this office may be closer than the main Salt Lake City location.

The office is inside the Farmington City building. Street parking is available on State Street and nearby residential streets. There is no dedicated parking lot, so plan for a short walk from your car.

Hours and How to Know If You Need an Appointment

The Farmington office keeps standard business hours, typically Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a lunch closure from noon to 1 p.m. Hours can shift seasonally or for holidays, so check the Utah Driver's License Division website or call ahead before you go.

Utah's Driver's License Division does not require appointments for most transactions. You can walk in during business hours. However, wait times vary by time of day and day of week. Early morning on a Tuesday or Wednesday typically means shorter lines than Friday afternoon. If the office is very busy, staff may close the door temporarily to manage the crowd.

Some transactions—such as commercial driver's license (CDL) testing—may have separate scheduling. Call the Farmington office directly at the number listed on the state website to confirm whether your specific transaction needs advance notice.

Key Takeaways

  • The Farmington office is located at 1 South State Street in Farmington, about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City, and serves northern Utah County and southern Davis County residents.
  • Walk-ins are accepted during standard business hours (typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a lunch break), but wait times vary by day and time.
  • You do not need an appointment for most driver's license transactions, but calling ahead can confirm hours and whether your specific service requires scheduling.
  • Bring your current ID, proof of residency, and any documents required for your specific transaction type (renewal, replacement, or new license).

What Documents to Bring to the Farmington Office

The documents you need depend on whether you are renewing, replacing, or obtaining a new driver's license. For any transaction, bring a current form of identification—a passport, military ID, or existing driver's license—and proof of your current Utah address.

Proof of residency can be a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days and showing your name and address. A government check or tax return also works. If you recently moved and do not have a document in your new name yet, bring a lease or utility bill in your name plus a document showing your old address and a letter from your landlord or utility company confirming your move.

If you are getting a new license for the first time in Utah, you will also need proof of your Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or tax return) and proof of your date of birth (birth certificate, passport, or military ID). If you are renewing or replacing an existing Utah license, these are not required again.

For a Real ID-compliant license, bring the same documents plus one additional document proving your identity and one proving your address. The office staff can tell you on the spot whether your documents meet Real ID standards.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you arrive, check in at the front desk and let staff know what you need—renewal, replacement, new license, or CDL. You will receive a number and wait for your turn. The wait is usually 15 to 45 minutes depending on how busy the office is.

When called, you will go to a window where a clerk will review your documents, ask you questions about your address and driving history, and take your photograph. The photo is taken on a digital camera at the window. You cannot wear a hat, sunglasses, or head covering (except for religious reasons, which are accommodated). Smile naturally; the photo will appear on your license for five to eight years depending on your age.

After your photo is taken, you will pay the fee. Renewal fees vary by age and license type but typically range from $25 to $50. The office accepts cash, check, and card. You will receive a temporary paper license valid for 30 days while your plastic card is mailed to your address on file. The permanent license usually arrives within two to three weeks.

Renewal, Replacement, and New License Transactions

A renewal is for a license that has not expired or expired within the last year. You can renew online through the Utah Driver's License Division website if you meet certain conditions: your license is not suspended, you have not changed your name, and you do not need to update your address. If you cannot renew online, come to the Farmington office in person.

A replacement is for a license that is lost, stolen, or damaged. Bring your ID and proof of address. If your license was stolen, you can report it to the office, and they will note it in the system. There is a small fee for a replacement, usually $15 to $20.

A new license is for someone who has never held a Utah driver's license or whose license has been expired for more than one year. You will need to pass a written test and a driving test. The written test covers traffic laws and road signs. The driving test is conducted by an examiner at the office or at a separate testing location. Schedule the driving test in advance; call the Farmington office or check the state website for available dates.

Real ID and Standard License Differences

Utah offers two types of driver's licenses: Real ID-compliant and standard. A Real ID license has a gold star in the upper right corner and meets federal identification standards set by the Department of Homeland Security. A standard license does not have the star and is valid for driving but not for federal purposes like boarding a domestic flight or entering a federal building.

Starting May 7, 2025, a Real ID license or passport will be required to board a domestic flight in the United States. If you plan to fly, get a Real ID license. The process is the same as a regular renewal or new license, but you must bring an extra document proving your identity and address. There is no additional fee.

If you do not fly or enter federal buildings, a standard license is sufficient for driving in Utah and other states. You can choose which type when you visit the Farmington office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license by mail or online instead of going to Farmington?

You can renew online through the Utah Driver's License Division website if your license is not suspended, you have not changed your name, and you do not need to update your address. If any of these explore to you, or if you prefer to renew in person, visit the Farmington office or any other Utah Driver's License Division location.

What if my license is suspended or revoked?

You cannot renew a suspended or revoked license at the Farmington office. You must first resolve the suspension or revocation through the Utah Driver's License Division or the court system. Contact the division directly to learn what steps are required and whether you need to pay a reinstatement fee.

How long does it take to get a new license if I am moving to Utah?

If you are new to Utah and have a valid out-of-state license, you can exchange it for a Utah license at the Farmington office. Bring your out-of-state license, proof of Utah residency, and proof of your Social Security number. The process takes about 30 minutes, and you will receive a temporary license on the spot. Your permanent license arrives by mail in two to three weeks.

Do I need to take a driving test to renew my license?

No. Renewals do not require a written or driving test. You only need to take a test if you are obtaining a new license for the first time in Utah or if your license has been expired for more than one year.

What if I fail the written or driving test?

You can retake the test. There is usually a waiting period of a few days between attempts. Call the Farmington office to schedule your next test date. You will pay a small fee each time you take the test.
