Utah's base DLD fees depend on age. Ages 19-20 can reach $58 in base permit-and-license fees ($19 permit + $39 provisional Class D) if they use the no-driver-ed 90-day path. Age 21+ pays $71 in base state fees ($19 + $52). Applicants ages 15-18 still have mandatory driver-education costs in addition to the state fees.
The learner permit is $19. The original provisional Class D license is $39 for age 20 and under, while the original regular Class D license is $52 for age 21+. Driver education is required through age 18 and optional from age 19.
| Age | Base DLD Fees | Driver Education | Cost Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15-17 | $58 ($19 + $39) | Required | Add the cost of an approved driver-education course. |
| 18 | $58 ($19 + $39) | Required | Turning 18 removes the six-month permit hold, not the driver-education requirement. |
| 19-20 | $58 ($19 + $39) | Optional | Skipping driver education generally means the 90-day learner-permit path. |
| 21+ | $71 ($19 + $52) | Optional | Base state fees are higher because the regular Class D fee is $52. |
Private-school, high-school, and third-party testing costs vary and are separate from the base DLD fees above.
The base DLD fees are $58: $19 for the learner permit plus $39 for the original provisional Class D license. For ages 15-18, required driver education adds a separate provider cost. Ages 19-20 can use the no-driver-ed path if they meet the 90-day permit and other licensing requirements.
The base DLD fees are $71: a $19 learner permit plus a $52 original regular Class D license. Driver education is optional at age 21+, so course tuition is not part of the minimum state-fee total.
The base DLD fees are $58, but age 18 still requires approved driver education. The course price is separate and varies by provider.
The learner-permit and applicable Class D application fees are mandatory. Driver education is mandatory through age 18 and optional at 19+. Third-party testing is optional when a DLD testing route is available. Replacement permits, motorcycle endorsements, missed-test fees, and private-provider charges apply only when relevant.
No. Turning 18 does not remove Utah's driver-education requirement. Driver education is still required at age 18; it becomes optional at age 19.
| Age | Driver Ed | Original Class D Fee | Base Permit + License Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Required | $39 | $58 plus driver education |
| 19-20 | Optional | $39 | $58 if using the no-driver-ed path |
| 21+ | Optional | $52 | $71 if using the no-driver-ed path |
For the detailed age rules, use the dedicated Driver Ed Requirement guide.
The first $19 learner-permit application covers up to three written knowledge-test attempts. After three failures, another $19 application fee is required. DLD driving-skills retests do not carry a separate DLD test fee, while private testers set their own charges.
The $25 DLD fee is not charged for every normal reschedule. It applies when a person fails to keep a testing appointment or does not cancel it at least 48 hours beforehand.
For the retake process itself, see the dedicated Failed Knowledge Test guide.
A motorcycle endorsement is $18. A replacement learner permit costs $19. The $25 testing-appointment fee applies when the appointment is missed or is not canceled at least 48 hours beforehand.
Document, vehicle, and appointment requirements can create indirect costs, but the detailed rules belong in their dedicated guides.
Start with the correct age-based DLD fee total, then budget separately for driver education, third-party testing, replacement documents, or missed testing appointments if they apply.
Use the dedicated documents guide, appointments guide, and road-test guide rather than adding those full processes to this cost page.
"The AI mock tests were surprisingly realistic. The explanations for road signs helped me understand the logic, not just memorize. Passed my permit test on the first try!"

"I was struggling with the specific road rules of my state until I used Shoro. The flashcards are a game changer for quick revision before the actual exam."

"The readiness score gives you so much confidence. I knew exactly when I was ready to take the test. Highly recommend Shoro for anyone nervous about their exam."
