Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) operates an online appointment system for driver license and identification card services at its offices in Broward County and Miami-Dade County. Appointments are required for these services and cannot be modified or canceled once scheduled. The system is free to use, and no fees are charged for scheduling appointments.
Appointment slots are released daily, and availability may vary, with some dates showing all slots booked in red. White blocks with blue text indicate available appointments. For those unable to secure a slot online, some users have reported success by checking the system at midnight, as new slots may become available then.
Alternatively, individuals may consider visiting Tax Collector offices, which handle many DMV-related services, including driver license and ID card services, vehicle registration, and title transfers. These offices may offer walk-in options or more flexible appointment availability compared to traditional DMV locations. For example, some Tax Collector offices in Miami-Dade County, such as the Coral Gables Tag Agency, accept walk-ins and can process registrations quickly.
For those seeking faster service, it is recommended to visit a lower-volume location outside of high-demand areas like Miami-Dade or Broward counties, as appointments may be more readily available in less populated regions. Additionally, certain services, such as driver license renewals, may be completed online through FLHSMV’s self-service portal, MyDMVPortal, if the individual is eligible.
It is important to note that while some online forums mention the sale of DMV appointments, these practices are discouraged and may involve scams or violations of policy. The official FLHSMV website remains the only legitimate source for scheduling appointments.
