Check the Status of Your  Florida Driver’s License

The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and the courts have the ability to suspend or revoke your driver’s license on a variety of grounds.

Sometimes, your driver’s license can be suspended without your knowing it. It’s easy to check the status of your license when you look at your driving record.

Check Your Driving Record

Your driving record report will advise you if your driver’s license is currently valid or whether it’s suspended or revoked. The record will also show points against your license and, in some cases, any accidents you have had.

You can order your driving record in one of three ways: online, in person, or through the mail.

• Order Driving Record OnlineYou may order a driving record online through our authorized third-party vendor.

• Order Driving Record In Person
  1. Complete and notarize a Request for Personal Information if you want your personal information shown on the record.
  2. Be ready to pay the $2.10 or $3.10 fee, depending on whether you want a certified copy and how far back you want to go.
  3. Visit your County Clerk’s office. You may want to call in advance to see which forms of payment are accepted.

• Order Driving Record By Mail
  1. Write a letter asking for your record or the record of the individual you’re researching. Remember to include your full name, your date of birth, social security number, and Florida driver’s license.
  2. Fill out and notarize the Request for Personal Information if you are ordering your own record and want your personal information visible on it.
  3. Include a check or money order to cover the fee. It’s $2.10 for a one year history, or $3.10 to go back completely or for a certified copy.
  4. If you can wait two weeks for the receipt, mail the application and fee to:
     • Bureau of Records
     • P.O. Box 5775
     • Tallahassee, FL 32314-5775
  5. To request that your record is sent by next-day delivery, send to:
     • Bureau of Records
     • 2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 90
     • Tallahassee, FL 32399-0575

Suspended in All States?

If you move and have a suspended license in your old state, you won’t be able to get a new driver’s license in your new state, either. This is because of the National Driver Register (NDR) and the Driver License Compact, both of which tell other states if you’re suspended anywhere in the U.S.
