Applying for a New Teen Driver's License in Florida

In an effort to minimize the risks associated with first-time drivers on the road, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) has implemented a graduated driver licensing (GDL) law.

The program requires all teen drivers to achieve certain milestones prior to obtaining a driver's license. Many of these milestones are based on age and experience.

REAL IDs in Florida

The Florida DHSMV began issuing federally-compliant REAL ID driver’s licenses in 2010. REAL IDs allow you to use your license for domestic travel and entry into federal and military buildings. For details on FL REAL IDs, see the DHSMV's guide and FAQs.

New to Florida?

If you're new to Florida and have held a driver's license in your previous state, you may transfer it without having to take the written exam and driving test.

You will need to visit your local Division of Driver Licenses office with various required documents. Use the GatherGoGet website to find out what documents you need to bring.

For more information, please contact the Division of Driver Licenses' Customer Service at (850) 617-2000.

If you have an out-of-state learner's permit or intermediate driver's license, you may transfer it for a Florida learner's license or provisional license. Follow the steps outlined in the “Florida Learner's Permit' and “Provisional License' sections below.
