If you have legally changed your name by marriage or court order, you must submit a copy of your marriage certificate(s) or court order(s). You must show documentation of all name changes. Please remember to update your records with the Social Security Administration at least 24 hours before visiting our office for a name change on your driver license.
You must bring original documents that prove your identity, your social security number, and your residential address if:
Starting October 1, 2021, all United States adults - including Floridians - will need to present a REAL ID -compliant license or another acceptable form of identification for domestic air travel. (*NOTE: REAL ID compliance from other states is not transferrable to Florida.)
Not sure if your ID is REAL ID compliant? If you have a gold star on your driver license or identification card, you’re good to go.
If your ID is not REAL ID compliant, you must visit a Tax Collector’s office in person to obtain a REAL ID . You cannot upgrade to a REAL ID online. If your driver license is valid and unexpired, it will remain valid for driving purposes until the expiration date. View a checklist of required documents (PDF) to obtain a REAL ID .

If you operate a vehicle with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), declared weight, or actual weight (whichever is greatest) of 26,001 pounds or more, transport hazardous materials, or carry 16 or more passengers (including the driver), you will need a CDL (Commercial Driver License) and all applicable endorsements. For additional information on CDL licenses and endorsements, visit the Division of Driver License information page.

If none of these apply to you, you can renew your license by mail or via the MyDMVPortal website. We offer driver's license services at all three office locations, with driving tests available at the Fort Pierce and Tradition offices.
