She received a full term (6 year)Texas  license in 2017.  Yes, she was a conditional resident at the time. 

Yes Texas issues a full term license, my wife also received a full term license while she was a conditional resident here in Texas. She is not going to update her license as nothing changed on her license i.e., address or name after her naturalization.

For Utah looks like you can register to vote online - so if that works and you have a full term driver license, I don't see a need to go to the DMV

(DMV generally doesn't track one's citizenship status unless you get an Enhanced Driver License that can be used to cross land borders - when I swapped my CA license for WA they asked if I want to register to vote!)

in the US we have a sayin

"the right hand does not tell the left hand what it is doing"

SS will not tell State DMV anything 

there is no need to do that and no requirement 

I agree with you. Won't do it since my DL is good until few more years.

Does Utah have enhanced DL? In NY, enhanced DL (available only to citizens) gets you into Canada and Mexico by land.

No, Utah doesn't have it. Only 5 states have EDL so far.

they wont send the info automatically. in Maine, the DMV staff told me to come to the DMV every time i have change a status. if you request a new DL, they will charge u. if you dont request a new DL because urs still have few years expiry date, they will just update ur info without new card. new card = charge. every state has their own rule. 

I see. Thanks

Yes, in Utah, Citizens can register to vote online as long as you have Utah DL. I will just do that.

DMVs are bad when it comes to registering to vote. They have registered LPRs as well in the past.
