Renew florida drivers license and registration

Extensions: If you are not eligible to renew your Class E Operator driver license online, the department can issue a military extension card that extends your driving privilege continuously each year until: 90 days after you are discharged from military service, you return to Florida to reside, or you obtain a new driver license or ID card from Florida or another state.

Please note: Military extension cards may not be accepted in some countries when serving overseas. Military service members and their families who live and drive in Florida, may do so with a valid out-of-state driver license. There is no requirement to obtain a Florida driver license when military and their family members move to Florida, take a job, or enroll their children in public schools.

By registering your emergency contacts, you provide law enforcement officials with information on who they should contact during an emergency, such as a crash. The department houses the information in a secure database that only law enforcement officers can access. Even if you previously registered your contacts, we recommend that you update the registry if your contacts change or if they move or change their phone number.

Anyone who has a Florida driver license or ID card can register their emergency contact information into the system. For your protection, please remember license plates belong to the state and must be returned if the decal on the plate is unexpired and insurance is not maintained. Florida law provides for a variety of legal uses of temporary license plates.

Temporary license plates may be used for a period of 10, 30, or 90 days according to the purpose for which the plate is issued. Customers must renew their Florida driver license or ID card every eight years. The expiration date is listed on the credential. Florida driver license and ID card holders may renew their credential up to 18 months in advance of the expiration date. Drivers can replace their driver license or ID card prior to its expiration if the credential is lost, stolen or they need to make an update.
