referral, medical report(s), driving record, and any crash
related incidents. Drivers are notified in writing of the
outcome.

If approved, the driver may be required to take a
re-examination and/or submit a follow-up medical report
as a condition of licensure. However, if the driver has a
medical condition that affects their ability to drive safely
and their records indicate that they may pose a risk to
public safety, their driving privilege will be denied.

Identification Cards

Many people continue to
keep and/or renew their
driver license as proof of
identification, which is a vital
necessity in today’s world.
However, there is an alternative.
Did you know that Florida’s Identification card functions
exactly the same as a driver license for the purpose
of providing proof of identification? It can be used in
airports, medical offices, banks or anywhere else a photo
ID is needed. In addition, the documentation needed for
an identification card is the same as for a driver license.

You may obtain or renew your driver license or ID card
by visiting your Florida driver license service center. To
find an office near you, go to your County Resources in
Chapter 5.
