Florida Residents Living Out of State: Check Your Driver’s License and Registration Status
Florida residents who are currently living out of state need to be aware of their driver's license and vehicle registration status. According to recent updates, if you move out of Florida but still hold a Florida driver's license, you must update your address with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) within 30 days. Failure to do so can result in penalties and complications, especially if you are pulled over in another state.
Similarly, if you own a vehicle registered in Florida and have moved out of state, you are required to either transfer the vehicle's registration to your new state of residence or surrender the Florida license plate. This is crucial as maintaining an active Florida registration while residing elsewhere can lead to legal issues and fines.
The FLHSMV has emphasized the importance of these regulations to ensure that all records are up-to-date and to prevent any misuse of Florida-issued documents. For those who have been living out of state for an extended period, it is advisable to check the status of their Florida driver's license and vehicle registration immediately to avoid any potential legal troubles.
This reminder comes as part of broader efforts by state agencies to maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with state laws, even for residents who have moved away. Florida residents living out of state should take these steps to stay in good standing with the FLHSMV and avoid any disruptions in their driving privileges.
