Update your Utah driver license
Agency: Utah Driver License Division (DLD). Deadline: Utah does not publish a fixed number of days, but the DLD advises updating your name promptly.
Utah requires an in-person office visit to change the name on a driver license or ID card — it cannot be done online or by mail. The DLD verifies your new name against Social Security Administration (SSA) records, so complete the SSA update first, and bring unexpired originals or certified copies with a raised seal.
