What the DeLand DMV office handles

The DeLand Driver License office is located at 1100 East New York Avenue, DeLand, FL 32724, and handles driver license renewals, replacements, and initial license applications for Volusia County residents. This office does not process vehicle registration or title work — those transactions happen at the Volusia County Tax Collector's office in the same building or at other Tax Collector locations throughout the county.

If you need to renew your driver license, replace a lost or damaged license, or take a written or driving test, the DeLand location is where you go. The office is staffed during standard business hours, though hours vary by day and change seasonally, so calling ahead or checking the Florida DMV website for current hours is necessary before you make the trip.

Vehicle-related work — registration renewal, title transfers, duplicate titles, and registration replacements — all go through the Tax Collector's office, which shares the same building. This separation matters because the two offices have different hours, different lines, and different documents you need to bring.

Key Takeaways

  • The DeLand Driver License office handles only driver licenses; vehicle registration and titles are processed by the Volusia County Tax Collector in the same building.
  • You can renew your driver license by mail, online, or in person, depending on your license type and how long it has been expired.
  • Bring your current license, proof of residency, and proof of Social Security number when renewing in person at the DeLand office.
  • The Tax Collector's office requires your vehicle title, proof of residency, and proof of insurance to renew registration.
  • Both offices are located at 1100 East New York Avenue, but they operate on different schedules, so check hours before visiting.

Renewing your driver license in DeLand

Florida allows most driver license renewals by mail or online without visiting the office. You can renew online through the Florida DMV website if your license is not expired more than six months, you have no medical conditions listed on your license, and you have not changed your name or address since your last renewal. The online process takes about 10 minutes and costs the standard renewal fee.

If you cannot renew online, you can request a renewal by mail through the Florida DMV website. Mail renewal takes longer — typically two to three weeks — but you avoid the trip to DeLand. You will need to include your current license, a check or money order for the renewal fee, and a completed process form.

If your license has been expired more than six months, you have changed your address, or you prefer to renew in person, visit the DeLand Driver License office. Bring your current license, a document showing your current address (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within 90 days), and a document proving your Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or tax return). The office will process your renewal the same day, though wait times vary.

Getting a replacement license in DeLand

If your license is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can replace it at the DeLand office. Bring your Social Security card or a document with your Social Security number, a document proving your current address, and payment for the replacement fee. The office will issue a temporary license on the spot and mail your permanent license within 7 to 10 business days.

You can also order a replacement license online through the Florida DMV website if you have a valid email address on file. Online replacement is faster and avoids the office visit, though you will still receive your new license by mail. If you need a license when ready — for example, because you have been pulled over and need proof of a valid license — the in-person replacement at DeLand is your only option.

Taking a written or driving test at DeLand

The DeLand Driver License office administers both written tests for new driver licenses and driving tests. If you are a new driver or your license has been suspended or revoked, you will need to pass both tests before you receive a license. Schedule your driving test through the Florida DMV website or by calling the DeLand office directly.

For the written test, bring your current ID, proof of residency, and proof of Social Security number. The test covers Florida traffic laws and road signs and takes about 20 minutes. You must score at least 80 percent to pass. If you fail, you can retake the test the same day or schedule another appointment.

Driving tests are scheduled appointments only — you cannot walk in. Bring your current ID, proof of residency, proof of insurance, and the vehicle you will be tested in. The test takes about 30 minutes and covers basic vehicle control, following traffic laws, and safe driving practices. You will receive your results the same day.

Handling vehicle registration at the Tax Collector's office

Vehicle registration renewal, title transfers, and duplicate titles are handled by the Volusia County Tax Collector, not the Driver License office. The Tax Collector's office is in the same building at 1100 East New York Avenue, but it operates on a different schedule and requires different documents.

To renew your vehicle registration, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, proof of residency, and payment for the renewal fee. If your vehicle has a lien, bring proof of the lien holder's name and address. The Tax Collector will issue your new registration card and mail your new registration sticker within 7 to 10 business days.

You can also renew your registration online through the Volusia County Tax Collector website if your vehicle has no outstanding violations and your insurance is current. Online renewal is faster and avoids the office visit. If you are transferring a title from another vehicle or state, or if you need a duplicate title, you must visit the Tax Collector's office in person.

Hours, location, and what to bring

The DeLand Driver License office and the Volusia County Tax Collector's office are both located at 1100 East New York Avenue, DeLand, FL 32724. However, they keep different hours. The Driver License office is typically open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but hours change seasonally and may vary by day. The Tax Collector's office has its own schedule, which may differ from the Driver License office.

Before you visit, check the current hours on the Florida DMV website for the Driver License office or the Volusia County Tax Collector website for registration and title services. Both offices can have long wait times during peak hours, typically mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays. Arriving early in the morning or late in the afternoon usually means shorter waits.

Bring more documents than you think you need. Acceptable documents for proof of residency include a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or government mail dated within 90 days. For proof of Social Security number, bring your Social Security card, W-2, tax return, or bank statement with your Social Security number. If you are unsure whether a document will be accepted, call the office before you visit.

What to do if you cannot visit in person

If you live outside Volusia County or cannot visit the DeLand office, you have options. Driver license renewals can be completed by mail or online if you meet the requirements. Mail renewal takes two to three weeks but requires no office visit. Online renewal is faster but only works if your license is not expired more than six months and you have not changed your address.

For vehicle registration renewal, the Volusia County Tax Collector allows online renewal if your vehicle has no violations and your insurance is current. If you need a title transfer or duplicate title and cannot visit in person, you can mail the required documents and payment to the Tax Collector's office, though processing takes longer — typically two to three weeks.

If you need a replacement driver license and cannot visit DeLand, you can order one online through the Florida DMV website. Your new license will be mailed to your address on file within 7 to 10 business days. This option works if you have a valid email address on file with the DMV.
