Where the Farmington DMV Office Is Located

The Farmington Driver License Division office is in Davis County, at 490 South Main Street, Farmington, Utah 84025. This is the only full-service DMV location in Farmington itself. The office handles driver licenses, identification cards, vehicle registration, and title services for residents in the northern Davis County area.

Farmington sits between Ogden and Salt Lake City, roughly 30 miles north of downtown Salt Lake City. If you live in Farmington, Centerville, or Kaysville, this office is typically closer than driving to Salt Lake City or Ogden. Parking is available on-site, though spaces fill during peak hours, usually mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays.

Hours and When to Go

The Farmington office operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and is closed on weekends and state holidays. There is no Saturday service at this location. The office does not take appointments; service is first-come, first-served.

Wait times vary significantly by day and time. Tuesday through Thursday mornings, before 11:00 a.m., typically see shorter lines. Mondays and Fridays tend to be busier. Lunch hours (noon to 1:00 p.m.) can also draw crowds. If you can visit mid-week in the morning, you will likely spend less time waiting.

The office closes for lunch from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., though staff continue processing applications during this time — you can still be served if you are already in line. Arriving before 4:30 p.m. is advisable, as the office stops accepting new customers 30 minutes before closing.

What Documents You Need

The documents required depend on what you are doing. For a new driver license or ID card, bring proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or previous license), proof of Utah residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 60 days), and your Social Security number. You will also need to pass a vision test and written exam if it is your first license.

For vehicle registration or title transfer, bring the vehicle's title or registration, proof of insurance, and a form of payment. If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Utah, you may also need an emissions test certificate, depending on the vehicle's age and type. The Farmington office can tell you over the phone whether your specific vehicle requires one.

For license renewal, bring your current license and proof of residency if your address has changed. If you are renewing online or by mail instead, you do not need to visit the office at all — Utah allows renewal through the DMV website for many drivers.

Bring originals and copies of everything. The office will not accept faxes or photos of documents. If you are unsure whether you have the right paperwork, call the office at (801) 451-3800 before you go.

Services Available at This Location

The office does not handle CDL (commercial driver license) testing or renewal. If you need CDL services, you must go to a larger DMV office in Ogden or Salt Lake City.

Vehicle title and registration services include new registrations, renewals, transfers between owners, and duplicate title requests. If you need a vehicle inspection for registration purposes, the office can direct you to approved inspection stations in the area.

Fees and Payment Methods

Driver license fees in Utah vary by license type and length. A standard five-year driver license costs $30. A state ID card costs $20.

Fees can change annually, and specialty services (such as vanity plates or duplicate titles) may cost more. Call the office before you visit if you want to confirm the exact fee for your transaction.

When to Use Other DMV Offices Instead

If you need CDL services, the Ogden DMV (2450 Washington Boulevard, Ogden, UT 84401) and Salt Lake City DMV (210 South 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84104) both handle commercial licenses. The Ogden office is closer to Farmington than Salt Lake City.

If the Farmington office has a long wait and you are not in a hurry, the Ogden office is about 20 miles away and sometimes has shorter lines. The Salt Lake City office is larger and handles more volume, so it can be either faster or slower depending on the time of day.

If you are renewing your license and have not had any address changes or violations, you can renew online through the Utah DMV website without visiting any office. This is the fastest option if you are may be able to access.
