What you can do at the Tooele County office

The Tooele County Driver License Office handles driver license renewals, replacements, and new licenses. You can also take your written permit test and driving test there. The office issues Real ID-compliant licenses if you bring the required documents.

Vehicle registration, title transfers, and registration renewals are also handled at this location. If you need to register a vehicle you just bought or renew tags that are expiring, this is where you go. The office can also issue duplicate registration documents if yours are lost or damaged.

For other services — such as commercial driver license (CDL) testing, motorcycle endorsements, or specialized permits — ask the staff when you call or arrive. Some services may require a trip to a different office or may need to be scheduled in advance.

Documents to bring

What you need depends on your specific transaction. For a driver license renewal, bring your current license and proof of your current address (a utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 60 days). If you are renewing online instead, you will not need to visit the office at all.

For a new license or a replacement, bring a valid form of identification (passport, birth certificate, or previous license), proof of Social Security number (Social Security card or tax return), and proof of address. If you are taking a driving test, bring your permit, proof of insurance, and the vehicle you will be tested in.

For vehicle registration, bring the title, proof of insurance, and a completed process form. The staff at the office can tell you the exact forms you need when you call ahead, which saves time on the day you visit.

Online options to avoid a trip

The Utah DMV website allows you to renew your driver license online if your license is not expired and you do not need to change your address or other information. You can also renew vehicle registration online for most vehicles. Renewing online takes about 10 minutes and costs the same as renewing in person.

To renew online, go to the Utah DMV website, select the renewal option, enter your license or registration number, and follow the prompts. You will need a credit or debit card to pay the fee. Your new license or registration will be mailed to you within one to two weeks.

If you need to change your address, take a test, or handle a more complex transaction, you will need to visit the office in person. The staff can tell you over the phone whether your specific task can be done online.
