What is the first step in obtaining a standard Utah driver's license?

The process of obtaining a standard Utah driver's license begins with applying for a learner’s permit. This step is crucial as it allows new drivers to practice driving under supervision before they can independently operate a vehicle. The learner's permit is designed to ensure that individuals gain necessary driving experience while still learning the rules of the road.

Once the learner's permit is obtained, the individual can then take the necessary tests, such as the vision and driving tests, but these come after the learner's permit stage. Additionally, registering for a vehicle is not part of the process for obtaining a driver's license; rather, it's an action that typically follows securing the license itself. Therefore, starting with the learner's permit is fundamental to the progression towards a full standard driver's license in Utah.
