........................................................................................................ GETTING YOUR LICENSE/ID CARD 

## License Renewal 

Class E driver licenses are valid for six to eight years. Expiration dates may vary for driver license renewals issued to non-immigrants. 

 Your driver license may not be renewed if: 

• You are not eligible to receive a driver license. 

• You did not answer a summons which involved a traffic violation. 

• Your driver license is suspended, revoked, or canceled. 

• You do not present the required documentation. 

## Renewal Issuance Requirements 

1. Present your old driver license. 

2. Pass a vision exam. 

3. If you have changed your address, you will need to provide two approved proof of address documents with your new address. 

4. If your name has changed, you will need to provide the approved documents establishing your new name. 

Primary identification, proof of social security number, and two proofs of residential address (pages 73–76) are required if you have not been issued a Florida driver license or ID card in a field office since January 1, 2010. 

Any non-immigrant holding a driver license or ID card who needs a renewal or replacement driver license or ID card must apply in person. 

## Renewing Online 

If you are a US citizen or immigrant, you can renew your driver license online at MyDMVPortal.flhsmv.gov. You are not eligible for online renewal if: 

• Your previous renewal was by phone, mail, or online. 

• You are not a US citizen or permanent resident. 

• Your driving privilege is suspended, revoked, or canceled and you want an ID card. 

Afer your request is processed, you will receive a six or eight year license. Florida law requires that you destroy your old driver license afer receiving the new driver license. Application for renewal received afer the license expiration date (midnight of your birthday) requires a $15 late fee. 

## Drivers 80 Years Old and Older 

All drivers who are 80 years of age or older and who are in the process of renewing their driver license are required to pass a vision exam. The exam may be administered at a driver license service center at no additional charge or by your Florida licensed health care practitioner, such as your medical doctor or optometrist. A vision examination report must be completed and submitted to FLHSMV if your vision test is administered by your doctor. See Form HSMV 72119. Once it is filed, you will then be able to renew online or by mail. 

Should you elect to have your vision exam at a local driver license service center, please schedule an appointment so that we can serve you more
