For a driver's license renewal, bring your current Florida driver's license or ID card, proof of residency (a recent utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement), and your Social Security number. If you are renewing by mail or online, you may not need to visit the office at all — check the Florida DMV website to see if you are may be able to access for remote renewal first.

For a vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and your vehicle identification number (VIN). If your address has changed, bring proof of your new address as well. Registration renewals can often be completed online or by mail, so ask whether you need to come in person.

For a title transfer, bring the signed title from the previous owner, a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and proof of residency.

For an ID card (not a driver's license), bring proof of identity, proof of residency, and your Social Security number. Bring the same documents whether you are getting your first ID card or renewing an existing one.
