Did you know that you may be eligible to renew your driver license online? If your driver license is due to expire soon, we encourage you to explore the convenience of renewing online. Online renewals are quick, easy, and can be renewed as far in advance as 18 months prior to the expiration date!

Renewing your license online allows you to handle this important task from the comfort of your home, saving you a trip to our service center. This self-service option is available 24 hours a day, offering unparalleled flexibility.

Please note: While online renewal is a fantastic option for many, not everyone is eligible. A REAL ID Driver License, or ID Card, is required. Also, certain circumstances, such as stops/holds on your license, name change, or expired licenses, require an in-person reservation. For more information about reservations and online renewals visit www.pbctax.gov/driver-license/renewal.

First step is to check if you qualify for renewing online and to start your renewal process by visiting https://mydmvportal.flhsmv.gov/. If you are unable to renew online and your driver license is set to expire within the next few months, schedule your reservation today at www.pbctax.gov/reservations! Driver license reservations book up fast, sometimes as far out as 60 business days!
