What type of license do you receive when you turn 16 in Utah?

In Utah, when you turn 16, you are eligible to receive a Class D license. This license permits you to operate standard passenger vehicles and is the most common type of driver's license issued to new drivers at that age.

Obtaining a Class D license typically involves meeting specific requirements such as holding a learner's permit for a designated period, completing a driver education course, and passing both a written test and a practical driving test. The Class D license serves as an important stepping stone towards gaining more driving experience and possibly upgrading to a Class C or higher license in the future, which cover more specialized vehicles like commercial vehicles or trucks, but those are not applicable to the general driving requirements for most 16-year-olds.
