Florida
Transplants Must Transfer Driver's License Immediately
Florida state law requires that all licensed drivers new to the
state of Florida, be in possession of a valid Florida driver's license
immediately upon accepting employment anywhere in the state, regardless
of your length of stay.
A Florida
license is required of any driver who becomes a Florida resident
or registers a child in a Florida public school.
You
must register your vehicle in Florida before applying for a driver's
license.
Out
of state drivers attempting to obtain a Florida license will need
to present the valid out of state license, Florida vehicle registration,
and a social security card.
New
comers to Florida, need only pass a visual examination as long as
they are in possession of a valid and current license from another
state. If your out of state license is expired, you may be required
to pass an actual driving road test. To take a road test, you must
provide a road-worthy, Florida-registered and properly insured (bring
proof) vehicle in which to take the test. Cars are never provided
by the examination office.
Make
an appointment! Although not required, appointments are available
and could save you hours of wait time often associated with walk
in transactions at our seemingly overburdened licensing facilities.
New
License: $20.00 (valid for 6 years)
Renewal: $15.00
Replacement: $10.00

Insurance Requirements |

90 days of legal residency vehicles must be covered by PIP and property
damage insurance. For further information, utilize the appropriate
vehicle registration contact number listed in the section below. |
| Vehicle
Registration |
|
| You
must register your vehicle and obtain Florida auto tags, immediately
upon establishing legal residency in the state of Florida or by the
very day you begin work in this state, or by the day you register
a child in school. Which ever, and when ever, any one of the three
circumstances come into play, you must have a valid Florida driver's
license if you are a licensed driver, and your vehicle must be registered
if it is being driven in the sunshine state. |

| Public
School Registration |
|
|
Your
realtor, landlord, or apartment manager can best advise you on which
public school your children are meant to attend, but GayOrlando.com
would like to provide you with some important information we believe
will better prepare you for registration and possibly save you the
hassle of a second trip to the school:
You
will need to present the following on behalf of each child:
·
The child's social security number.
·
If the child is entering either Kindergarten or first grade, a birth
certificate will be required to show proof of age and social security
number.
·
Proof of medical examination within the past 12 months.
·
Two documents which establish proof of residency of the parent or
guardian, such as an electric bill, phone bill, or voter registration
card.
·
A Certificate of Immunization (HRS Form 680) available from private
physicians or the local Public Health Department.
·
A copy of the child's last report card, while not required, is appreciated
and can help expedite the process.
