Utah Immigration Resources

Book Appointment

Navigating the immigration process in the United States can be challenging, with numerous roadblocks, paperwork, and complexities at every turn. If you're an immigrant exploring opportunities in Utah, you'll find it to be a pro-immigrant state offering various resources and pathways to help you build a successful life. Here's a structured and concise guide optimized to provide key immigration services available in Utah. Our DACA immigration and green card processes will help you access a broader range of resources and opportunities in the state. Using our immigration lawyer will significantly reduce the stress and complexity of navigating the immigration process in Utah.

Driver's Privilege Cards 

Utah Senate Bill 227 enables undocumented residents to apply for a driver's privilege card, even without a Social Security Number. The card allows legal driving within Utah and serves as a valid form of identification. 

  • Renewal Required: Annually. 

Business Opportunities 

Utah is both immigrant- and business-friendly, allowing undocumented residents to obtain business licenses. 

Employment and Professional Licensing 

New laws, such as the 2023 Reciprocal Professional Licensing Act, allow immigrants with professional licenses from other countries to practice in Utah. Once recognized, these licenses are generally valid across most states. 

  • Licenses Include: Healthcare, engineering, IT, and more. 
  • Check Eligibility here

Educational Benefits 

Undocumented students and DACA recipients can access in-state tuition and financial aid by meeting the following criteria:

  • High school attendance for 3 years+ in Utah.
  • Graduation from a Utah high school, or equivalent.
  • Submission of an affidavit to apply for legal immigration status.

Public Benefits 

While federal law limits access to public services, undocumented residents in Utah can still access programs deemed "necessary to protect life and safety," such as emergency healthcare services. 

Housing Ordinances 

Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Utah protects individuals from discriminatory housing practices. DACA recipients may qualify for certain FHA loans based on HUD guidelines.

Submission & Legal Verification Requirements For Work 

E-Verify is mandatory for employers with over 150 employees to confirm the legal work status of new hires.
