What to Expect at the Brigham City DMV

Where the Brigham City DMV is located and what it handles

The Brigham City Driver License Division office is located at 16 West Forest Street in Brigham City, Utah. This is a Utah Department of Public Safety facility that issues driver licenses, identification cards, and handles related transactions for Box Elder County residents and anyone else who chooses to visit.

This office does not handle vehicle registration or title work — those services are managed through your county clerk's office. The Brigham City location focuses on driver license renewals, replacements, testing for new drivers, and identification card services. If you need to register a vehicle or transfer a title, you'll need to contact the Box Elder County Clerk's Office instead.

Key Takeaways

The Brigham City Driver License Division is at 16 West Forest Street and handles driver licenses, ID cards, and related services only — not vehicle registration or titles.
You can renew your license by mail, online, or in person, depending on your situation and how much time remains before expiration.
Walk-in hours vary by season, so calling ahead at the office or checking the Utah DPS website before you visit saves time.
Bring a valid form of identification and proof of residency to any in-person transaction, as these are required for most services.
If you need vehicle registration or title services, contact the Box Elder County Clerk's Office — the DMV does not handle those transactions.

Renewing your driver license in person at Brigham City

If you choose to renew in person at the Brigham City office, bring your current driver license, proof of residency (such as a utility bill or lease dated within 60 days), and any documents required for your specific situation. The staff will verify your information, take a new photo, and process your renewal on the spot.

In-person renewal takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on how busy the office is. Your new license will be mailed to you within 7 to 10 business days. You can continue driving on your current license until the replacement arrives, so there's no gap in your driving privileges.

Renewing by mail or online instead

Utah allows many driver license renewals to happen by mail or online without a visit to the office. If your license is not expired and you have no medical restrictions or changes to your information, you can renew online through the Utah DPS website. Online renewal is faster — your new license ships within 3 to 5 business days — and you avoid the office visit entirely.

Mail renewal is also an option for some drivers. You'll submit your current license, a completed renewal form, and the fee by mail to the address provided on the Utah DPS website. Mail renewal takes longer than online (typically 10 to 14 days from receipt) but works if you prefer not to visit in person or don't have internet access.

Getting a replacement ID card or duplicate license

If your driver license or ID card is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can get a replacement at the Brigham City office. Bring your proof of residency and any remaining identification you have. The replacement process is the same as renewal — your new card will be mailed to you within 7 to 10 business days.

If your license was stolen, you may want to report it to local police and keep a copy of the report for your records. This protects you if someone tries to use your license number for fraud. The DMV does not require a police report to issue a replacement, but having one on file is good practice.

Testing for a new driver license or endorsement

The Brigham City office administers written tests for new driver licenses and motorcycle endorsements. You'll need to bring proof of residency, proof of identity, and proof of Social Security number (such as a Social Security card or tax return). Testing appointments are recommended — call the office or check the Utah DPS website to schedule one.

The written test covers road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. You must score at least 80 percent to pass. If you fail, you can retake the test the same day or return another time. Once you pass the written test, you'll schedule a separate appointment for the driving skills test at a location near you.

Hours, phone number, and how to prepare for your visit

The Brigham City Driver License Division is open Monday through Friday. Hours vary seasonally and may change, so call ahead at the office or visit the Utah Department of Public Safety website to confirm current hours before you go. The office is typically busier in the morning and on Mondays and Fridays, so visiting mid-week in the afternoon may mean a shorter wait.

Bring your current driver license or ID card, proof of residency (utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within 60 days), and proof of Social Security number if you're explore for a new license. If you've changed your name, bring a certified copy of the document that shows the change (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order). Having these documents ready before you arrive speeds up the process.

Vehicle registration and title services in Box Elder County

The Brigham City DMV office does not handle vehicle registration, title transfers, or plate renewals. These services are managed by the Box Elder County Clerk's Office, located in Brigham City at a different address. You can contact the county clerk's office directly to find out their location, hours, and what documents you'll need for your specific transaction.

If you're registering a vehicle for the first time, transferring ownership, or renewing your registration, the county clerk's office is your destination. They'll need your title, proof of insurance, and identification. Having the right office saves you a trip — calling ahead to confirm what you need to bring is worth the five minutes.

What if I need to change my address on my license?
