Florida issues REAL ID-compliant licenses and IDs at no extra cost, and they must be obtained in person for a first application. You must present proof of identity, proof of your Social Security number, and two documents proving Florida residency.
Tick each item as you gather it. Bring original documents — photocopies are not accepted.
Vehicle registration is administered by FLHSMV through county tax collector offices; new residents must obtain a Florida title, register the vehicle, and show proof of Florida insurance.
First-time drivers take the Class E written knowledge exam and a behind-the-wheel road test, for which you must provide a properly registered and insured vehicle.
Florida has no single statewide system; appointments are booked through the MyDMV Portal or the local county tax collector's office depending on the location. Schedule online at flhsmv.gov/locations or call (850) 617-2000.
