Other DHSMV Info:

Florida’s public records laws are very broad, and most documents and records are available to the public. However, the laws do provide specified exceptions that exempt personal information contained in a motor vehicle record from public disclosure requirements. A motor vehicle record includes driver licenses, titles, registrations and identification cards issued by the Department. Click here for more information on the Driver Privacy Protection Act.

The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles provides information throughout its website, including on-line driver license and motor vehicle checks. Other reports such as driver histories, motor vehicle histories and crash reports can be ordered. The Department maintains the Florida driver license, motor vehicle, and related databases, which are queried and updated in real time as citizens are issued licenses and registrations at more than the 400 locations throughout the state. These databases are generally available 24 hours each day for retrieval of driver and vehicle related data by law enforcement, businesses and interested citizens except during brief outages scheduled for required system maintenance.
