About Driver License and ID Cards
As an agent for the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, our office issues REAL ID driver licenses and state identification (ID) cards Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Your driver license or state ID card is valid for six or eight years depending on your age. People aged 79 and under, driver licenses/state ID cards are valid for eight years. People aged 80 and older, driver licenses/state ID cards are valid for six years.
Those who are currently REAL ID compliant may renew their driver license/ID online one time. Those who are not REAL ID compliant must visit our office to become REAL ID compliant.
Vision screening is required of all clients obtaining or renewing a driver license.

Prepare for Your Visit
If you must come in, follow these tips to make your visit quick and efficient!
- Make a reservation
- Don’t wait until the last minute. You can renew your license 18 months before it expires.
- Perform a free driver license check-up to see if you have any stops, holds or violations. Clearances can be processed at our office if you bring the required documentation.
- Bring Your Own Translator. If English is not your first language, you have the option of bringing a person with you to your scheduled reservation to assist you with translating. It is important to remember that the person you bring with you to translate for you, may not assist you while you take any required tests, such as the driver’s license written test. State regulations require that these tests only be completed by the applicant.
