What the DeLand DMV Office Handles
The DeLand DMV office is a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles service center located in Volusia County. It is not a full-service office — it handles driver license renewals, replacements, and some address changes, but does not issue new licenses to first-time applicants or handle vehicle registration and titling. If you need vehicle services, you will need to visit a county tax collector's office instead, which handles registration, title transfers, and plate replacements in Volusia County.
The office is located at 1200 West New York Avenue in DeLand. Hours and wait times change seasonally, and the office sometimes closes for staff training or system maintenance. Before you go, check the Florida DMV website or call ahead to confirm the office is open and to understand current wait times.
Walk-ins are accepted, but you do not need an appointment to be served. However, the office does offer online services for some transactions — renewing your license or changing your address — which can save you a trip entirely.

- The office is located at 1200 West New York Avenue in DeLand and accepts walk-ins without an appointment.
- Many driver license transactions can be completed online through the Florida DMV website, which is faster than visiting in person.
- Wait times vary by time of day and season; calling ahead or checking the DMV website before you go helps you plan your visit.
Driver License Renewals at the DeLand Office
If your Florida driver license is expiring or has expired within the last six months, you can renew it at the DeLand office. Bring your current license, proof of residency (a utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within the last 60 days), and proof of Social Security number (your Social Security card, W-2, or tax return). If your address has changed since your last license, bring proof of your new address.
You will take a new photo at the office, and the new license will be mailed to you within 7 to 10 business days. If you need your license sooner, you can pay an expedited fee to have it mailed faster, though this option is not always available for all transaction types. Ask the staff member when you arrive whether expedited processing is an option for your renewal.
The online renewal option is available if your license is not expired, you have not had any suspensions or restrictions, and you do not need a new photo. If you are over 80 years old, you must renew in person. Online renewal takes a few minutes and costs less than renewing at the office.
Replacing a Lost, Stolen, or Damaged License
Bring your proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or another government-issued ID), proof of residency, and proof of Social Security number. You will have a new photo taken and pay a replacement fee. The new license is mailed to you within 7 to 10 business days.
If your license was stolen, you may also want to report the theft to local police and monitor your credit. The DMV does not file a theft report — that is handled by the police department in your city.
Address Changes and License Updates
You can change your address online through the Florida DMV website without visiting the DeLand office. The online process takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Your updated license will be mailed to your new address within 7 to 10 business days.
If you prefer to change your address in person, bring your current license, proof of your new address (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within 60 days), and proof of Social Security number. You do not need a new photo for an address-only change unless your license is expiring soon.
Florida law requires you to notify the DMV of an address change within 10 days of moving. Updating your address online is the fastest way to meet this important date.
What Documents to Bring
| Transaction Type | Required Documents |
|---|---|
| License Renewal | Current license, proof of residency, proof of Social Security number |
| License Replacement | Government-issued ID, proof of residency, proof of Social Security number |
| Address Change (in person) | Current license, proof of new address, proof of Social Security number |
| Name Change | Current license, court order or marriage certificate, proof of residency, proof of Social Security number |
Proof of residency means a document dated within the last 60 days showing your name and current address — a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement. A driver license or ID card does not count as proof of residency.
Proof of Social Security number can be your Social Security card itself, a W-2, a tax return, or a 1099 form. A Social Security letter from the federal government also works.
Vehicle Registration and Title Services in Volusia County
The DeLand DMV office does not handle vehicle registration, title transfers, or plate replacements. These services are handled by the Volusia County Tax Collector's Office, which has multiple locations across the county. The main office is in DeLand at 1200 West New York Avenue — the same building as the DMV office — but separate from it.
You can register a vehicle, transfer a title, renew your registration, or replace a license plate at any Volusia County tax collector location. Bring your proof of ownership (the title or bill of sale), proof of residency, proof of insurance, and identification. If you are financing the vehicle, bring the lien holder information as well.
The tax collector's office also handles vehicle inspections and emissions testing in some locations. Call the Volusia County Tax Collector's Office to confirm which services are available at the DeLand location.
When to Use Online Services Instead of Visiting in Person
The Florida DMV website offers online renewal for driver licenses that are not expired, online address changes, and online name change notifications. These transactions take 5 to 10 minutes and cost less than in-person service. Your updated license or documents will be mailed to you within 7 to 10 business days.
You cannot renew online if your license is expired, if you have had any suspensions or restrictions, if you are over 80 years old, or if you need a new photo for any reason. You also cannot renew online if your name or address has changed and you do not have a current license showing your identity.
If you are unsure whether your transaction is available online, visit the Florida DMV website and enter your information. The system will tell you when ready whether you can proceed online or must visit an office.
