The Constitutional Tax Collector's Office is now a one-stop shop for Florida drivers. Our new driver license services are a no-fuss way to keep you on the road.
If only the license photo was as easy....
In July of 2011 our office completed the roll-out of driver license services. The Florida Legislature’s rapid transfer of driver license services from the Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles to local tax collectors has been an enormous undertaking. With this new service requirement came the responsibility to implement the Real ID Act, a federal homeland security measure. The law was passed to improve the integrity and of state-issued driver licenses and identification cards to help fight terrorism and reduce fraud.
Real ID impacts everyone who wants a driver license or ID card. That’s because you are required to come in person to our office to prove your identity as required by the federal law. The legislature provided no funding for public education about this often complicated process.
We created the “License To Drive” Real ID Tool Kit and it includes valuable education materials to help you successfully prepare for the Real ID process:
- A REAL ID document checklist to organize required documents;
U.S. Citizens: English, Espanol, or Kreyol.
Immigrants: English, Espanol, or Kreyol.
Non-Immigrants: English, Espanol, or Kreyol.
Canadians: English, Espanol or Kreyol.
- Flyers to display or distribute in your community, clubhouse or congregation:
Letter-size flyers: English, Espanol, Kreyol
Legal-size flyers: English, Spanish, Kreyol
- A list of Frequently Asked Questions about the federal Real ID Act of 2005; and
- Instructions to upload a banner ad to your website.

So, remember to smile and say, “Cheese.”
