Driver License and ID Card Services

As a result of a recent constitutional amendment, the Miami-Dade County Office of the Tax Collector is now mandated to assume responsibility for the administration and issuance of Driver Licenses and Identification Cards for county residents. Accordingly, the County’s Driver License Offices will transition from the management of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) to the Office of the Tax Collector.

This transition, expected to take several months, is intended to improve appointment accessibility and enhance service delivery for Miami-Dade residents.

Under the leadership of the Honorable Dariel Fernandez, the Office of the Tax Collector has already assumed control of six offices in just over 100 days. These offices are now managed locally, and residents can easily access services either by scheduling an appointment or by visiting any branch during operating hours for walk-in service.

The Office of the Tax Collector continues to work expeditiously to complete the transition of the remaining offices, while working together with local municipalities to open new branches closer to your home. In the meantime, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) will continue to manage appointments at any other locations not managed by the Tax Collector. To request an appointment for Driver License or Identification Card services at office managed by the State of Florida, please visit:  Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Parents or guardians of a minor need to provide two proofs of address in their name, along with documents that show the family or guardian relationship. There’s no need to complete the Certification of Address form.  

The certifier (the person providing proof of address) must either:  

-  Accompany the customer to an office to sign the form in the presence of an examiner; or  

-  Sign the form in front of a notary.  

The certifier must also provide two documents proving their own residential address, one of which must be a deed, mortgage agreement, lease agreement, or a similar document.
