Document Requirements for Driver's License and ID Card

This means that when you come to our office to obtain, renew or replace a Florida driver’s license or ID Card, you must bring original documents from 1, 2 and 3 below. All documents will be returned to you and your current driver's license or ID Card must be surrendered. Visit the Florida DMV's website for a complete listing of documents needed and other information related to obtaining your driver's license or ID Card.
