Traffic schools are listed in your local telephone directory under "driving instruction" or "traffic schools”. And, approved providers are also available at http://www.flhsmv.gov/ddl/drivingcourses.html. Our office does not offer any of the above referenced traffic school courses.

 If you do not take the correct course required for your citation, you will be required to retake the correct course and pay any applicable fees.
 
 If you need a replacement license, you must submit documents that establish your identity pursuant to the Real ID Act (e.g. US birth certificate, US passport, USCIS/INS documents, proof of name change(s), Social Security Card and 2 proofs of residential address) unless you already have a Real ID compliant Florida driver license and no changes are needed.  For a complete list of acceptable identity documents, visit flhsmv.gov/whattobring.
