Where the Sunrise DMV is located and how to get there

The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles office in Sunrise is at 10900 West Oakland Park Boulevard, Sunrise, FL 33351. This location serves Broward County residents and handles standard DMV transactions including driver's license renewals, replacements, and address changes, along with vehicle registration and title services.

The office sits in a commercial area west of the Florida Turnpike. If you're using GPS or a map app, search for the full address above rather than just "Sunrise DMV" — there is only one DMV office in Sunrise, but the address will get you to the correct building faster than a general search.

Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the building. The office is accessible by public transit through Broward County Transit, though service frequency varies by route and time of day — check the BCT website for current schedules if you plan to use the bus.

Hours of operation and when to visit

The Sunrise DMV is open Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 8:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The office is closed on Sundays and state holidays. These hours can change without notice, so call ahead at the office directly or check the Florida DMV website before making the trip.

The office typically has the shortest wait times early in the morning on weekdays, particularly Tuesday through Thursday. Mondays and Fridays tend to be busier. Saturday hours draw a steady crowd, so expect longer waits if you visit on weekends.

The office does not use an online appointment system. Service is first-come, first-served, though you can call ahead to ask about current wait times before you leave home.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sunrise DMV is located at 10900 West Oakland Park Boulevard and serves all standard driver's license and vehicle registration transactions for Broward County.
  • Hours are Monday through Friday 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., with the shortest waits early on weekday mornings.
  • No appointment system exists at this location — you arrive and wait your turn, though you can call to ask about current wait times.
  • Bring your current ID, proof of residency, and any documents specific to your transaction (such as a current registration for a renewal or a bill of sale for a title transfer).

What documents to bring for common transactions

For a driver's license renewal, bring your current Florida driver's license, proof of Social Security number (a Social Security card, W-2, or 1099 form), and proof of current Florida residency (a utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within the last 60 days). If your name has changed since your last license, bring a certified copy of the document that changed it — a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order.

For an address change on your driver's license, bring your current license and proof of your new Florida address. A utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days all work. You do not need to renew your entire license — the address change is a separate, faster transaction.

For vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance (your insurance company's ID card or a printed declaration page), and proof of residency. If the vehicle's title is in a different name than your current ID, bring the title document itself.

For a title transfer (buying or selling a vehicle), bring the signed title from the seller, a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and proof of residency. If the seller is not present, bring a notarized power of attorney or a bill of sale signed by the seller and notarized. Requirements vary slightly depending on whether the vehicle is new to Florida or already registered in the state.

When to use the Sunrise location versus other Broward County offices

Broward County has multiple DMV offices in Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and other cities. The Sunrise office handles the same transactions as any other Florida DMV location — there is no reason to choose one over another based on the services offered. Choose based on which location is closest to your home or workplace.

If the Sunrise office has a long wait on the day you plan to visit, you can walk into any other Broward County DMV office instead. Your transaction will be processed the same way, and you will not lose your place in line or have to restart paperwork.

What to expect when you arrive

When you enter the office, look for a ticket dispenser near the entrance. The machine will ask what type of transaction you need — select your category and take the numbered ticket it prints. A digital display shows which number is currently being served and which window to go to.

Wait times vary widely depending on the day and time. On a slow Tuesday morning, you might be called within 10 minutes. On a busy Friday afternoon, you could wait 45 minutes to an hour. The office staff cannot speed up the process, but they can tell you the approximate wait time if you ask when you arrive.

Bring all documents with you — do not plan to run home and get something you forgot. If you are missing a required document, the staff will tell you what you need and you will have to return another day.

Common reasons transactions are delayed or rejected

The most frequent issue is missing or expired proof of residency. Utility bills, lease agreements, and mortgage statements must be dated within the last 60 days. A bill from six months ago will not work, even if you still live at that address. If you have just moved and do not yet have a bill in your name, bring a lease or mortgage statement instead.

Address changes are rejected when the proof of residency does not match the address you are claiming. If you are moving to a new address but do not yet have a utility bill there, bring a signed lease or a letter from your landlord on official letterhead stating your move-in date.

Title transfers stall when the seller's signature on the title does not match the name on their ID, or when the title itself is damaged or illegible. If the title has a problem, the seller may need to visit a DMV office in the county where the vehicle was last registered to get a corrected title before you can transfer it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my driver's license online instead of going to the office?

Florida allows online renewal for some driver's licenses, but not all. You can renew online only if your license is not expired, you have no medical conditions listed on it, and you have not had any address changes since your last renewal. If you meet those conditions, you can renew through the Florida DMV website without visiting an office.

Do I need an appointment, or is it first-come, first-served?

The Sunrise office operates first-come, first-served with no appointment system. You take a ticket when you arrive and wait for your number to be called. You can call the office before you go to ask about current wait times, but you cannot reserve a spot in advance.

What if I don't have proof of residency dated within 60 days?

You will need to get a document that meets the requirement. A utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement all work if they are dated within 60 days. If you have just moved, ask your utility company for a printed statement or bring a signed lease from your new landlord. Without current proof of residency, the transaction cannot be completed.

Can someone else pick up my renewed license or registration for me?

No. You must be present for the transaction and sign the documents yourself. The DMV will not release a license or registration to anyone other than the person whose name is on it, even with a power of attorney.

What is the phone number for the Sunrise DMV office?

Call the main Florida DMV customer service line at 1-844-DMV-FLOR (1-844-368-3567) and ask to be transferred to the Sunrise office, or search online for the direct number to the Sunrise location. Wait times to reach a person can be long during peak hours, so calling early in the morning often gets you through faster.
