Utah Permit Renewal

TheDonMD · Nov 30, 2018

Time to renew my Utah permit online. What are you all doing for providing a picture? I don't want to pay CVS / Wallgreens for a digital passport quality photo. Has anyone used an iPhone pic or a passport style photo app?

Selfie... With light background.. make sure follow the passport photo criteria.

Upload.. pay... Wait..

If a dumbass like me can do it, ANYONE can.

I went out on my porch since my house is light green and used my kindle. The website for the permit cropped it to size.

Great, thanks all!

I don't think it really matters much. When I renewed my Utah CCW, I sent in passport photos. When I got the permit, the picture was so light and washed out that you can barely tell what I look like.

Mine, too. I was a bit surprised they would issue it like that?

I thought about asking them to reissue one with a clearer picture, but then I figured if they issued that way it was good enough for them.

Went to CVS and got 2 "passport like" photos. Same thing just not as high quality. Cost me $1.40. Got my license 4 weeks later.

Funny! I thought the same things.

I had The Boy take a photo of me at the top of the stairs (the only place we could find a decent neutral background without a light switch or other cruft.) Did some preliminary cropping and scaling on the computer using GIMP. When I uploaded it, their web app let me fuss with the photo some more. Was disturbingly easy ... and I probably could have substituted Keanu Reeves' photo for mine. Whoa!

can the entire renewal be completed online?

Yes to using a cell phone pic, and yes to completing the renewal completely online. I had my new one in 21 days.

Ditto...I did the same. Now have a second photo when I need to renew my Florida NR permit.

Utah may not care what it looks like but other state police do! Friend and I were stopped and were carrying. We were both carrying and friend pulled out his Utah. Cop looked at it and said: "Son, I'm gonna give you a break, but that permit ain't worth shit."

Why did he say that? Was he criticizing the picture quality, or did he personally disapprove of Utah non resident permits?

I also used a cell phone picture for my Utah renewal. Set the phone on a tripod and used the self timer. I probably took two dozen photos before settling on one.

My original Utah permit was submitted with a real photo, that looked decent. The permit photo looked like crap.

My renewal was with a cell phone selfie, and the permit actually looks better than the one from a real photo.

They must have crappy scanners.
