DMV Locations and Hours in Volusia County

Volusia County has two Florida Department of Motor Vehicles offices: one in Daytona Beach and one in DeLand. The Daytona Beach office is at 1415 Beach Street and is open Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. The DeLand office is at 1000 North Woodland Boulevard and keeps the same hours. Both offices are closed on state holidays and weekends.

Neither office takes appointments for most transactions. You arrive, take a number, and wait your turn. The wait time varies by day and time of day — mornings tend to be busier than afternoons, and Mondays and Fridays draw larger crowds than mid-week days. The Daytona Beach location typically sees heavier traffic because it serves the larger population area along the coast.

If you need to renew your license or handle a straightforward transaction, you can also use the online renewal system through the Florida DMV website, which eliminates the need to visit an office at all. This option is available for many renewals but not for first-time licenses, address changes that require a new photo, or transactions involving violations or suspensions.

What to Bring to the Daytona Beach or DeLand Office

The documents you need depend on your transaction. For a license renewal, bring your current Florida driver's license and proof of residency (a utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within 90 days). If you are renewing after your license has expired, you may need to pass a vision test.

For an address change, bring your current license, proof of your new address, and proof of Social Security number (a Social Security card, W-2, or 1099 form). If you are explore for your first Florida license, bring your out-of-state license or passport, proof of residency, proof of Social Security number, and a completed process form (HSMV 82040). The staff at either office can tell you the full list for your specific situation when you call ahead.

Bring originals or certified copies, not photocopies, unless the DMV has specifically said a copy is acceptable. The office does not accept faxed or emailed documents.

Fees and Payment Methods

License renewal costs $75 for an eight-year license in Florida. Address changes on an existing license are $25. First-time license applications cost $75. Duplicate licenses cost $25. These fees are set by the state and are the same at both Volusia County offices.

Both the Daytona Beach and DeLand offices accept cash, debit cards, and credit cards. They do not accept checks or money orders. If you are paying for multiple transactions or services, ask the clerk which fees explore to your specific request before you pay, because some services bundle fees differently.

Handling Common Transactions at Volusia County DMV

A standard license renewal takes 15 to 30 minutes from the time you take your number, assuming no complications. Address changes usually take 20 to 40 minutes. First-time license applications can take 45 minutes to an hour because they require more documentation review and a vision test.

If your license has been suspended or revoked, you cannot renew it at the counter. You must first resolve the suspension through the Florida DMV's Administrative Suspension or Revocation process, which requires contacting the DMV directly or working with a hearing officer. The office staff can direct you to the right department, but they cannot lift a suspension themselves.

If you need a duplicate license because yours was lost or stolen, bring a police report if you have one (not required, but helpful). The duplicate will have the same expiration date as your original license, so you are not paying for an extension.

Parking and Accessibility

The Daytona Beach office on Beach Street has street parking and a small lot. Parking can be tight during peak hours, especially mid-morning. The DeLand office on Woodland Boulevard has a dedicated parking lot with more available spaces and typically easier parking than the Daytona location.

Both offices are wheelchair accessible and have accessible restrooms. If you have mobility concerns or need accommodations, call ahead to let the office know you are coming. Staff can sometimes arrange for you to be seen more quickly or direct you to the most accessible entrance.

When to Use Online Services Instead

The Florida DMV website allows you to renew your license online if your license is not expired, you have no violations or suspensions, and your address has not changed. You can also order a duplicate license online if yours was lost or stolen. Online renewal takes about 10 minutes and costs the same $75 fee, but you avoid the wait at the office.

Online renewal is not available if you need a new photo, if your license expired more than six months ago, or if you are changing your address. In those cases, you must visit an office in person. The online system will tell you whether your renewal is may be able to access before you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my license at either the Daytona Beach or DeLand office?

Yes. Both offices handle the same transactions, including renewals, address changes, and duplicate licenses. Choose whichever location is closer to you or has easier parking. Wait times may differ between locations, but the services and fees are identical.

What if I arrive and the office is closed?

Both offices close at 5 p.m. and do not reopen in the evening. If you arrive after closing, you will need to return during business hours (8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday). Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing if you want to be seen that day.

Do I need to bring my Social Security card?

You need proof of your Social Security number, but a Social Security card is not the only option. A W-2, 1099, or other tax document with your Social Security number printed on it works. If you do not have any of these, bring your Social Security card. The office will not accept a birth certificate or passport as proof of Social Security number.

How long does a license renewal take from start to finish?

The transaction itself takes 15 to 30 minutes. Your new license is printed on site and you leave with it the same day. The wait before you are called depends on how busy the office is — this can range from 10 minutes to over an hour. Arriving in the afternoon or mid-week typically means a shorter wait.

Can I change my address without getting a new photo?

No. Any address change in Florida requires a new photo and a new license card. You cannot straightforward update your address on your existing license. The new license will have a new expiration date based on your age and the current year, so you are not just paying for an address update — you are getting a new license with a new photo and new expiration.
