To get a copy of your driving record in Utah, you have three options through the Driver License Division (DLD): order online for $11.00 and download it immediately, mail in a notarized request form for $8.00, or walk into a DLD office and pay $8.00 in person.1Utah Driver License Division. Fees The online version is uncertified; if you need a certified copy with an official seal, you have to go by mail or in person.

The fastest route is the state’s MVR Personal portal at secure.utah.gov. You enter your personal information and driver license details, pay the $11.00 fee, and download the record once payment processes.2State of Utah. MVR Personal1Utah Driver License Division. Fees
Two limits are worth knowing before you click through. The online record is uncertified, so it won’t work for a court proceeding or any employer who insists on an official seal. And you’re paying a $3.00 premium over the mail and in-person price for the speed.

Certified vs. Uncertified: What You Actually Need
An uncertified copy is fine for personal review, checking your points, or handing to most insurers. A certified copy carries an official seal and is what courts and some employers require. If nobody has specifically asked for a certified record, the standard MVR does the job.

What You’ll See on the Record
The Utah Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) lists reportable arrests and convictions, any administrative actions the DLD has taken against your license, your current license status, and accidents tied to a conviction.6Utah Driver License Division. Driving Record (MVR) It also reflects the points on your license under Utah’s point system, which is how the DLD tracks moving violations and decides on suspensions.7Utah Driver License Division. Points System
Most entries stay on the record for three years. DUI and drug-related charges remain for ten years.6Utah Driver License Division. Driving Record (MVR) Utah law caps the standard reporting window at ten years, but that cap doesn’t apply to court and law enforcement reports, CDL violations, or records for CDL holders.8Utah Legislature. Utah Code 53-3-109 – Records — Access — Fees — Rulemaking
If Something on the Record Is Wrong
Read through the record carefully once you have it. Common problems include a violation attributed to the wrong person, a dismissed charge that still shows as a conviction, or an incorrect date. Contact the Driver License Division directly through the information on dld.utah.gov, and be ready to send documentation, such as a court disposition showing a charge was dismissed or reduced.
If a background screening company pulled your record for an employer or insurer and used it against you, the Fair Credit Reporting Act adds a separate set of rights: the screening company has to investigate any dispute you raise, and an employer taking adverse action based on the report has to send you a copy first along with a notice of your rights, giving you a chance to challenge it before the decision becomes final.
A Note for CDL Holders
If you drive commercially, the Utah MVR is only part of your history. CDL holders are also tracked through the FMCSA’s Pre-Employment Screening Program, which shows five years of crash data and three years of roadside inspection results,9Pre-Employment Screening Program (FMCSA). Frequently Asked Questions and the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, which retains testing violations for five years or until return-to-duty is completed, whichever is later.10Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Commercial Driver’s License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse Utah’s ten-year reporting cap also doesn’t apply to CDL records, so your commercial history can reach back further than a standard MVR.8Utah Legislature.
