Continuing education must be complete before you submit the renewal. (UT Auto Dealers (MVED): expire June 30 each year; renew Apr 1-Jun 30, 3-hr class due with renewal (mved.utah.gov))

The continuing education Utah requires

    Utah sets auto dealers requirements by license class (Dealer License). Check the class printed on your license, then note your renewal date — renewals run a fixed statewide date — every licensee renews on the same day; the next fixed deadline is June 30, 2027.

    Complete 3 hours of board-approved continuing education
