If you’ve provided identification documents and have been issued a license out of an office anytime since Januyou should already be Real ID compliant. Florida’s requirements follow federal regulations set forth by the Department of Homeland Security’s Real ID Act which was designed to improve security and help reduce identity fraud. If you have any questions, please tweet us at or for additional information about the new driver license, check out the new driver license brochure.Every person who wishes to obtain a driver license or identification card in Florida is required to show specific documentation to prove their citizenship/immigration status and identity. If your current Driver License and/or Identification Card is expired or is about to expire, you may request a temporary license to be mailed to you by calling 1-80 or visit a local DMV field office to receive a temporary license in person. This should be enough time for your new DL/ID card to arrive in the mail. In order to mitigate these issues, DMV can provide a temporary driver license which will be valid for 60 days from date of issuance. Some entities, such as banks or airports, do not have access to these records and this can cause some inconvenience to our customers. In addition, they will honor the updated expiration date found on DMV records if a payment for renewal was received. Fortunately, law enforcement has access to driver license records and is aware of the issuance backlog. In order to prevent any counterfeit measures, we at DMV want to ensure all new DL/ID cards meet DMV security feature requirements.
These new features include: vertical layout for persons under 21 the cardholder’s date of birth and signatures that can be felt by touch images that can be seen only with the use of ultraviolet lights a 2D bar code on the back of the card that replicates and verifies information on the front of the card and a laser perforation outline of the California Brown Bear, which can be seen from the front of the card when a flashlight is pressed against the back of the card.īecause of the extensive nature of these new security improvements, issuance of new or renewed driver licenses are taking approximately four to six weeks at this time to receive the new card. As of October 1, 2010, the DMV began issuing a new enhanced driver license (DL) and identification card (ID) with additional security features.
