Does my teen need a learner's permit before their first drive in Salt Lake City?

Yes. A valid Utah learner's permit must be in hand before any behind-the-wheel session. You can get one at age 15 after passing the written knowledge test. Schools in Salt Lake City will not put a student in the car without it.

Can the school that trained my teen also give the road test?

No. Your final road test cannot be administered by the school that trained you. When we match you in Salt Lake City, we account for this and tell you which nearby schools can legally test you.
