2. Check your card for the gold star

   A REAL ID-compliant Utah driver license or ID card has a gold star in the upper right-hand corner. If yours has it, you don't need to do anything for REAL ID.

3. Apply online and schedule an appointment

   On the DLD site, choose Driver License or ID Card services and the option that fits you (first-time original, renewal or replacement), then submit the application and schedule an appointment at a Driver License office. If you're not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or permanent resident, choose the Limited-Term driver license or ID card instead of the regular one.

4. Go to your appointment

   Check in with your confirmation number, take a photo, present your documents to the examiner, complete the eye test if you're getting a driver license, and pay the fee. You get a temporary license or ID card the same day. If you're transferring a license from another state, you take a 25-question open-book written test, may need a driving skills test, and surrender the other state's license; the temporary license comes after all required testing.

5. Watch your mail

   Your card is mailed in about 4-6 weeks, though the DLD says processing and mailing can take 6-8 weeks. After four weeks you can check its production status online.

Common reasons people get turned away

• Photocopies, faxed copies, laminated birth certificates or hospital certificates: documents must be originals or certified copies.
• Address proofs older than 90 days, or only one of the two required.
• An unsigned Social Security card or just the card stub.
• Keeping another state's REAL ID card: by law you may hold only one REAL ID-compliant card at a time.
