Document Help

In accordance with the federal REAL ID Act, customers must submit original or certified, valid documents that are legally recognized by the state of Florida before a REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card can be issued in an office. Customers who do not have original or certified documents may need to plan for additional time and fees in order to obtain documents from the issuing authority.
