Drivers With Expired Licenses May Have to Retest

elliot-kwan-KV57YBuoIe0-unsplash(1)Do you have an expired Florida driver’s license? Some recent changes in Florida law mean you’ll likely face a few additional hurdles when it comes to renewal. On February 1, Florida implemented a new law requiring drivers that have had their license expired for an extended period to retake a vision test and also complete the written portion of the driving exam before they will be allowed to renew.

A few examples of scenarios where retesting may be required include:

  • Drivers who have passed the awareness examination in Class E (the standard license type) but have yet to apply for issuance within one year of the exam date.
  • Drivers that have been demoted from a driver’s license to an ID card and the driver’s license expired for one or two years.
  • Drivers who have not applied during the one-year overdue renewal cycle to upgrade their driver’s license.

To prevent retest requirements, drivers should consider renewing early. The official Florida Driver’s Handbook can be downloaded by applicants who wish to prepare for the test.
