Are the steps for renewing a FL permit the same as drivers license renewal? Florida

New Driver Checklist
Yes, pretty much, if you're talking about in-person renewals. You may have the option of renewing your Florida drivers license by other means, such as using the online, mail, or phone options. Some restrictions apply with these methods, so contact the FHSMV at (850) 617-2000 if you have any questions about this.

FL Driver License Renewal and Learners Permit Renewal (In-Person)

In either case, you'll need to provide proof of identity (such as your birth certificate), proof of your Social Security number (such as your card or a W-2 form), and two proofs of your residential address (such as a utility bill, W-2 form, or written statement from your parent or guardian). It's a good idea to bring along your current driver license or learners permit.

If you don't have a Social Security number, you'll need to bring a letter from the Social Security Administration indicating this.

Don't Get Caught Driving with an Expired License

It's illegal to drive in Florida with an expired license or permit. You can receive a traffic ticket and be nailed with a hefty fine for doing so. You can renew your drivers license up to 18 months in advance of when it expires.
