Utah Driver's License Guide 2026

Everything below is taken from the Utah DLD’s own pages. Where the DLD does not publish a figure, this guide says so rather than inventing one.

Two different tests, depending on whether you have driven before

Utah’s Driver License Division sets a closed-book 50-question written knowledge test for applicants who have never been licensed, and an open-book 25-question test for applicants who have been licensed before. Every question comes from the Utah Driver Handbook, so the handbook is the only study material that matters.

How many attempts you get

You may take the test twice in one day. After three failures the Division requires a second fee, and a retest needs an appointment.

The test is not only in English

Applicants for a regular or limited-term licence may take the written knowledge test in Arabic, Dari, French, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Tongan, Ukrainian or Vietnamese. Arabic, French, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese and Spanish are offered with audio as well as text. If your language is not on that list you may commission one of the Division’s approved interpreters.

Practising before you go

Our free Utah practice questions cover the same topics as the Utah Driver Handbook, and every question shows the correct answer. They are practice questions written to those topics - they are not the DLD’s own test questions.
