Florida Driver License Check

Helpful Information

What type of driver licenses can I search?

Only Florida Driver License numbers can be searched through the Clerk of Courts website. To check the status of a license that was issued by a state other than Florida, you must contact the state where the license was issued.

Can I pay for a Broward County citation if I have a license from another state?

If the case does not reflect a Florida Driver License number and a license suspension has been issued, you can still pay for the citation, if it does not require valid proof of documentation (e.g., registration or insurance), or requires mandatory court appearance. Citations, such as, Failure to Display License, Registration, or Insurance violations are not payable online and require proof that must be presented to the Clerk's office to determine the correct court fee to be charged. For more information, refer to Traffic and Misdemeanor – Types of Violations.

You may also pay for the D6 suspension fee; however, if you do not hold a Florida Driver License you will not be able to pay the reinstatement fee on the Clerk's website.

What are the requirements for paying a citation that has caused a license suspension?

If the case does not reflect a Florida Driver License number and a license suspension has been issued, you can still pay for the citation if it does not require proof of court appearance along with any late and D6 fees. If you hold an out-of-state driver license, other requirements may be needed by the issuing State Department of Motor Vehicles for further compliance. If you are unable to pay for the citation on the Clerk's website, you may still pay for the citation in person at any of our Broward County Service Locations, or by mail.

Can I obtain a driver license from the Clerk of Courts website after reinstating my license?

No. If eligible to reinstate, the Clerk of Courts website can only assist you in reinstating a driver license through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). The Clerk of Courts office is unable to issue a driver license. Driver Licenses & ID Cards can only be issued through the FLHSMV. However, if you possess the actual, physical license and have resolved all outstanding suspensions, you may reinstate your license through the Clerk of Courts website. If you do not have a physical license, you may still reinstate through the Clerk of Courts website, but you will be required to obtain a replacement license from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). For more information, go to Driver Licenses & ID Cards.

What if I paid the reinstatement fee, but my driver license was not reinstated?

If the reinstatement process could not be completed at the time of payment, the Clerk of Courts will continue to submit the reinstatement information to the Department of Motor Vehicles. You may continue to check your driver license status at the FLHSMV website periodically to ensure that the reinstatement process has been completed.

What is the cost of a driver license reinstatement?

The cost to reinstate a Florida Driver License is $60.00. The total cost to reinstate a Florida Driver License through the Broward County Clerk of Courts website is $65.00 ($60.00 reinstatement fee, plus a $5.00 convenience fee). All reinstatements completed on the website are processed immediately.

Once you pay your reinstatement fee, you should go to the FLHSMV website to check your driver license status to ensure that the reinstatement process has been completed.
