Utah — Reinstatement Guide
Utah Driver's License Reinstatement
Most people have more than one reason their Utah license is on hold and don't know it. This page walks the common reasons, what each requires per Utah's published process, and the order the state expects them in. The roadmap itself is free.
DUI-Specific Path
Suspended after a DUI?
We have a Utah-specific page for the administrative road back once the DUI case is resolved — required program, interlock if applicable, financial-responsibility filing, fees.
See the Utah DUI reinstatement road back →Common Reasons a Utah License Is Suspended
Each reason has its own requirements, fee, and order in the state's process. If more than one applies to you, they have to be cleared in the right sequence — that's what the free roadmap does.
Type A1
Lapse in insurance / SR-22 required
If your insurance lapsed, the state suspends your driving privileges until you re-establish coverage and (in most states) file an SR-22 financial-responsibility certificate.
What Utah requires: obtain coverage; SR-22; pay $40.
State reinstatement fee: $40 (paid directly to DLD)
Type A2
Failure to appear or failure to pay a ticket
If you missed a court date or didn't resolve a citation, the court notifies the state and your license is held until the underlying matter is cleared with the court.
What Utah requires: resolve court fines → pay $40.
State reinstatement fee: $40 (paid directly to DLD)
Type A3
Points / accumulated violations
Multiple moving violations within the state's lookback window can trigger a points-based suspension that requires waiting out the suspension period and clearing reinstatement requirements.
What Utah requires: 200 pts / 3 yr → susp (70 if <21); serve → pay $40.
State reinstatement fee: $40 (paid directly to DLD)
Type B-DUI-ADMIN
DUI administrative suspension
An administrative-license-revocation suspension (separate from any criminal court case) is handled through the state's reinstatement process — the criminal case itself is for an attorney, not for us.
What Utah requires: serve admin susp; **10-day** confiscation hearing window (fax 801-964-4499); IID 18 mo (per registry); 24/7 Sobriety; limited license (judge + doctor + employer letters, 1 yr violation-free); SR-22; pay **$85** license reinstatement + **$255** admin = **$340 total** confirmed today.
State reinstatement fee: $85–$340 (paid directly to DLD)

Or have us prepare your packet
Packet preparation isn't live for Utah yet — the free roadmap is still available now. We'll surface the prepared packet here when it opens.
Every requirement, fee, and link on this page comes from Utah's own published process. Where Utah hasn't published a value at primary source, we leave it out rather than guess — the free roadmap carries the citations behind each step. Requirements can change; always confirm current requirements with the state before submitting.
