Where the Brigham City office is and what it handles

The Brigham City Driver License Division is a Utah Department of Public Safety office that issues driver licenses, permits, and ID cards to residents in Box Elder County and surrounding areas. It is located at 16 West Forest Street, Brigham City, Utah 84302. This office handles the same transactions as other Utah Driver License Division branches — written tests, driving tests, license renewals, and replacements — but serves a smaller geographic area than the Salt Lake City main office.

The office is not the only place in Box Elder County where you can conduct license business. Some transactions, like renewals and address changes, can be done online through the Utah Driver License Division website or by mail. However, if you need to take a written test, pass a driving test, or appear in person for your first license, you will need to visit a physical office — either Brigham City or another branch.

What documents you need to bring

Utah requires the same documents at every Driver License Division office, including Brigham City. You will need three categories of proof: identity, residency, and Social Security number. A valid passport, military ID, or certified birth certificate counts as identity. A utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or government mail with your current address counts as residency. Your Social Security card, W-2, or tax return counts as proof of your number.

If you are renewing an expiring license and your name and address have not changed, you may be able to skip the residency document. If you are explore for your first license or a permit, bring all three categories. The office staff can tell you on the phone whether your specific documents will work before you make the trip.

When you can visit and how to prepare

The Brigham City office operates during standard business hours, though the exact schedule changes seasonally. Call 435-734-3800 to confirm hours before you go, or check the Utah Driver License Division website for current times. The office works on a walk-in basis — you do not need an appointment — but wait times can be 30 minutes to two hours depending on the day and time.

If you are taking a written test or driving test, bring your documents, your current license or ID if you have one, and be prepared to pay the fee for your transaction. Written tests cost less than driving tests and license issuance. Fees vary slightly by transaction type. The office accepts cash and card. If you are taking a driving test, bring a vehicle that is registered, insured, and in safe working condition — the examiner will inspect it before the test begins.

What to do if you cannot visit Brigham City

If the Brigham City office is too far away or its hours do not work for you, you have other options. Online renewal is available if your license is not expired and your name and address have not changed — you can renew through the Utah Driver License Division website without visiting any office. Mail renewal is also an option for some transactions; the website explains which ones.

If you need to take a test or appear in person, you can visit any other Utah Driver License Division branch. The Salt Lake City main office, Ogden, Provo, St. George, and Cedar City all have full-service locations. Some smaller towns have part-time offices. The transaction you need and the documents you bring are the same at every location — only the address and hours change.

Real ID and what it means for your visit

If you want a Real ID-compliant driver license, you will need to provide additional documents proving your identity and residency. Real ID licenses have a gold star in the upper right corner and are required for federal building access and domestic air travel starting in 2025. You do not have to get Real ID — a standard Utah license is still valid for driving — but if you plan to fly or enter a federal building, Real ID is simpler than carrying a passport.

The Brigham City office can issue Real ID licenses. You will need the same three document categories as a standard license, plus one additional document proving your current address if your ID is older than your residency proof. The fee for Real ID is slightly higher than a standard license. The process takes the same amount of time at the counter, though the card itself arrives by mail a few days later.

What happens after you pass your test or complete your transaction

If you are taking a written test, you will receive your results when ready. If you pass, you can move forward with a driving test or pay for your license. If you fail, you can retake it the same day or return another time — there is no waiting period between attempts in Utah.

If you are taking a driving test, the examiner will tell you whether you passed before you leave the office. If you pass, you pay the license fee and your card is printed on-site or mailed to you within a few days, depending on the office's equipment. If you fail, you can schedule another test for a future visit. If you are renewing or replacing a license, your new card is mailed to the address on file within one to two weeks.
