Where the Pembroke Pines DMV Office Is Located

The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles does not operate a physical office in Pembroke Pines itself. Instead, Broward County residents in Pembroke Pines use the Broward County Tax Collector's office, which handles DMV services including driver's license renewals, vehicle registration, and address changes. The nearest full-service location is the Broward Tax Collector office at 115 South Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, about 15 minutes north of Pembroke Pines.

Broward County also operates satellite tax collector offices in other parts of the county that may be closer depending on where you live within Pembroke Pines. Some residents near the western edge of the city may find the Plantation or Sunrise offices more convenient. You can check the Broward County Tax Collector website to see all current office locations and hours before you visit.

Key Takeaways

  • Pembroke Pines residents handle DMV transactions through the Broward County Tax Collector, not a dedicated DMV office.
  • The main Broward Tax Collector office is in Fort Lauderdale at 115 South Andrews Avenue, about 15 minutes from central Pembroke Pines.
  • Satellite offices in Plantation, Sunrise, and other Broward locations may be closer depending on your neighborhood.
  • Many DMV transactions can be completed online through the Florida DMV website without visiting an office in person.

What Services You Can Handle Online Instead of Visiting

Before making a trip to a tax collector office, check whether you can complete your transaction on the Florida DMV website. Driver's license renewals, vehicle registration renewals, and address changes can often be done online if your situation meets certain conditions. The Florida DMV website lets you start the process and tells you when ready whether your specific request can be completed without an office visit.

Online renewal typically requires that your license or registration is not expired by more than a certain number of years, that you have no medical restrictions, and that your information has not changed significantly. If you are renewing after a move, an address change online may work, but some situations require an in-person visit to verify documents. The website will tell you which path applies to you before you commit time to visiting an office.

Documents to Bring When You Visit the Broward Tax Collector

What you need depends on which transaction you are doing. For a driver's license renewal, bring your current license, proof of residency (a utility bill or lease in your name), and your Social Security number. For vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card and proof of insurance. For an address change on your license, bring your current license, proof of your new address, and your Social Security number.

Proof of residency must show your name and current Pembroke Pines address and be dated within a certain window — typically within 90 days for most transactions. A utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or government mail all work. Bring the original or a certified copy, not a photo. If you are unsure whether a specific document will work, call the Broward Tax Collector office before you go.

How to Check Wait Times and Make an Appointment

The Broward County Tax Collector office does not always require an appointment, but you can request one through their website or by phone. Walk-ins are accepted, but wait times vary by time of day and day of week. Mornings and early afternoons on weekdays typically have shorter waits than late afternoons or Saturdays. The office publishes estimated wait times on their website so you can plan your visit.

If you want to avoid waiting, scheduling an appointment ahead of time is your best option. You can book online through the Broward Tax Collector website or call their customer service line. Even with an appointment, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to check in. Bring all required documents and have your information ready so the transaction moves quickly once you are called.

Fees for Common DMV Transactions in Broward County

Driver's license renewal costs vary depending on whether you renew for four or eight years. Vehicle registration renewal fees depend on your vehicle's weight and type. Address changes on your license typically cost less than a full renewal. The Broward Tax Collector website lists current fees for each transaction type, and fees can change, so check before you visit or call ahead to confirm the exact amount you need to bring.

Payment methods accepted at the office include cash, check, debit card, and credit card. If you are renewing multiple items in one visit — for example, both your license and vehicle registration — ask the staff whether you can pay together or whether each transaction requires a separate payment. Knowing the total cost ahead of time helps you bring the right payment method and move through the process faster.

Alternative Locations if the Fort Lauderdale Office Is Inconvenient

Broward County operates tax collector offices in Plantation, Sunrise, Deerfield Beach, and Pompano Beach in addition to the main Fort Lauderdale location. Depending on which part of Pembroke Pines you live in, one of these satellite offices may be closer or have shorter wait times. Each office handles the same DMV transactions, so you can visit whichever location works best for your schedule.

The Plantation office is west of Pembroke Pines and may be convenient if you live on the western side of the city. The Sunrise office is to the south. Check the hours for each location before you visit, as satellite offices sometimes have different hours than the main office. The Broward Tax Collector website lists all locations, hours, and phone numbers so you can call ahead or check wait times before you go.
