Driver License Status Information

Order of Suspension
This screen applies to licensed minors who received an Order of Suspension letter from the Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).

Your driving privilege will be suspended on the date referenced in the letter. A public school district reported you to DHSMV for non-compliance with school attendance requirements.

If your non-attendance was reported in error, contact the attendance office at the public school that reported you to DHSMV and request a status letter. The status letter must be on school letterhead and state that you should not have been reported. The letter should also include name, date of birth, social security number (if available) and driver license/control number. The letter can be faxed to (850) 617-5158 . The letter will serve as authorization for your record to be amended. Private schools cannot issue status letters.

If you had an attendance problem, please contact your school's attendance office for HSMV Form 72870 . This form will be issued when attendance requirements are met. Diplomas are also acceptable. The compliance date on the form cannot be more than 30 days old. The form can be faxed to (850) 617-5158 if it is dated prior to the effective date of the suspension. If your license is suspended present the form to any driver licenses office in the State of Florida. A $45 reinstatement fee is also required.

If you are:
  • Home schooled,
  • Enrolled in Job Corps,
  • A current out-of-state resident,
  • Have been granted a certificate of exemption by a district school superintendent,
Please contact us at (850) 617-3811 .

If you are 18 years of age or older school attendance requirements are no longer applicable. You may apply for a license at your local driver license office.
