Where the Taylorsville DMV is located and what it handles
The Utah DMV Taylorsville office is in Salt Lake County, south of Salt Lake City proper. This office handles standard driver license and identification card transactions, vehicle registration and renewal, title work, and commercial driver license (CDL) services. It does not handle all transactions — some services require a visit to a different location or can be completed online through the Utah Driver License Division website.
The office is a full-service location, meaning you can walk in for most common tasks without a scheduled appointment, though wait times vary by time of day and day of week. Peak times are typically mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays. If you need a specific service, checking the Utah DMV website before you go tells you whether that transaction is available at this location.

Office hours and how to contact the Taylorsville location
The Taylorsville DMV office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is closed on weekends and state holidays. Hours may change seasonally or for special closures, so confirm the current schedule on the Utah Driver License Division website before making the trip.
You can reach the office by phone at the main Utah DMV customer service line. The website also lists the direct number for the Taylorsville location. If you call, have your driver license number or vehicle registration number ready — staff can answer questions about what documents you need and whether your specific transaction can be handled at this office.
What documents to bring for a driver license or ID transaction
For a new driver license or ID card, bring your current valid ID (passport, military ID, or out-of-state license), proof of Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or tax return), and two forms of proof of residency. 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 current address.
If you are renewing an expiring license and your address has not changed, you may be able to renew by mail or online instead of visiting the office. If your address has changed, you will need to bring proof of your new address. If you are replacing a lost or stolen license, bring a police report if you have one, though it is not always required.
For a CDL, bring the same documents plus your current commercial license (if renewing) and any medical certificates required by federal law. CDL applicants must also pass a written test and a driving skills test, which are administered at the office.
What documents to bring for vehicle registration and title work
To register a vehicle or renew registration, bring your current registration card, proof of vehicle ownership (title or bill of sale), proof of insurance, and a valid ID. If the vehicle title is in someone else's name, bring a power of attorney or a signed bill of sale from the owner.
For a title transfer, bring the signed title from the previous owner, a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and your ID. If the vehicle is financed, the lender's name will appear on the title, and you may need a lien release document from them before the title can be transferred to you. If you are unsure whether you have all the required documents, call the office ahead of time — staff can tell you exactly what to bring.
Vehicle registration and title fees vary based on vehicle type, weight, and age. The Utah DMV website has a fee calculator where you can enter your vehicle information and see the exact cost before you arrive.
Transactions you can complete online or by mail instead
Many common transactions do not require a visit to the office. Driver license renewals can be completed online if your license is not expired and you have not had a change in medical status or address. Address changes can be reported online or by mail. Vehicle registration renewals can also be completed online or by mail if the vehicle information has not changed.
Online renewal is usually faster than visiting in person and avoids waiting in line. You will receive your new license or registration by mail within one to two weeks. If you need your new license or registration when ready, an in-person visit is necessary.
Wait times and tips for a faster visit
Wait times at the Taylorsville office typically range from 15 minutes to over an hour depending on the time of day and day of week. Mondays and Fridays are usually busier than mid-week. Early morning (8:00 to 9:30 a.m.) and late afternoon (after 4:00 p.m.) tend to have shorter waits.
Bring all required documents with you — missing paperwork is the most common reason for delays and return visits. If you are unsure whether you have everything, call ahead or check the Utah DMV website for a document checklist specific to your transaction. Arriving with a complete process means you can be processed in a single visit.
The office does not currently offer online appointment scheduling, but you can check current wait times on the Utah DMV website before you leave home. Some transactions may be faster if completed online or by mail, so compare your options before deciding to visit in person.
What to do if you cannot visit during business hours
If you cannot visit the Taylorsville office during its Monday through Friday hours, explore alternatives. Many transactions can be completed online through the Utah Driver License Division website, including license renewal, address changes, and vehicle registration renewal. Online transactions are available 24 hours a day.
You can also mail in applications for certain services. The Utah DMV website has mail-in forms and instructions for driver license renewal, address changes, and vehicle registration renewal. Mail processing typically takes two to three weeks, so plan ahead if you need your new license or registration by a specific date.
If you need a service that cannot be completed online or by mail, and you cannot visit Taylorsville during business hours, check whether another Utah DMV location near you has different hours. Some offices in larger cities stay open later or offer Saturday hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment to visit the Taylorsville DMV?
No. The Taylorsville office accepts walk-ins for most transactions. You do not need to schedule ahead, though wait times vary by time of day. Calling ahead to confirm that your specific service is available at this location can save you a trip.
Can I renew my license online instead of going to the office?

What if I do not have proof of residency?
Proof of residency must be a document dated within the last 60 days showing your name and address. If you do not have a utility bill or lease, ask the office what other documents they accept — options may include a bank statement, insurance policy, or letter from a government agency. Call ahead to confirm what will work.
How much does it cost to renew my vehicle registration?
Registration fees depend on your vehicle's type, weight, and age. Use the fee calculator on the Utah DMV website to enter your vehicle information and see the exact cost. Fees typically range from $50 to $150 for standard passenger vehicles, but commercial or specialty vehicles may cost more.
Can I transfer my out-of-state license at this office?
Yes. Bring your current out-of-state license, proof of Social Security number, two forms of proof of residency in Utah, and a valid ID. The office will process your Utah license process and you will take a new photo and pass a vision test. You do not need to retake the written driving test if your out-of-state license is valid.
