Getting licensed in Florida — the practical details
The questions people actually ask about the Florida process, answered from official state sources.
What does a Florida driver's license cost?
$48 for an original Class E, a figure that already includes the learner's license, and $48 again at renewal. A replacement card is $25. Expect an extra $6.25 service fee at a county tax collector office.
How old do you have to be to start in Florida?
Fifteen for the learner's license and sixteen for the Class E driver license. Nothing lets you start earlier — Florida has no hardship or agricultural route below 15.
How many questions are on the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam?
50 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, safe driving practices and identifying traffic controls. State law requires at least 25 items in the question bank to cover bicycle and pedestrian safety.
How many can you miss on the Florida knowledge exam?
Ten. You need 40 of 50 right, which FLHSMV publishes as 80 percent. Miss an eleventh and the attempt is over.
Is there a time limit on the Florida knowledge exam?
Yes — 60 minutes. FLHSMV's Automated Driver License Testing System produces a timed, 60 minute, 50-question test drawn at random from a bank of roughly 800 questions, and the same system runs the exam in driver license offices, in tax collector offices and at contracted third-party administrators.
Can you take the Florida permit test online?
Yes, if you are under 18, through a registered third-party administrator. Form 71144, the Parent/Guardian Online Test Proctoring Form, has to be notarized or signed in front of an examiner. Applicants 18 and over must test in person.
Do Florida offices take walk-ins or require appointments?
It depends on the office, because county tax collectors run much of the counter work. FLHSMV says a location may be walk-in or appointment-only, and directs you to each tax collector or license plate agent's own website to find out which.
Is an eye exam required for a Florida license?
Yes, and a hearing test with it — Florida screens both for Class E. Vision of 20/40 or better in each eye clears with no referral; the minimum field of vision is 130 degrees; telescopic lenses do not count toward the standard.
What happens if you fail the Florida Class E exam?
You pay $10 for each subsequent knowledge test and $20 for each subsequent skills test, both set by statute. FLHSMV publishes no statewide waiting period between attempts. Motorcycle retests are $5 and $10.
What languages is the Florida knowledge exam offered in?
FLHSMV contradicts itself: the English exam page says English only, while the Spanish version of the same page lists Arabic, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Russian and Spanish. Ask your office or provider directly. The handbook is definitely published in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole.
How long is a Florida license valid?
Eight years. You can renew up to 18 months early, and online renewal through MyDMV Portal is offered every other renewal period, so the cycle after an online renewal has to be done in an office.
What documents does a first-time Florida applicant bring?
One primary identity document, one proof of Social Security number, and two different proofs of Florida residential address — your current license does not count as one, and most dated documents must be within 60 days. After that first visit you only produce them again if your information changes.
