Previously we told you how the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has decided to suspend the acceptance of cash at the various tolls plazas found throughout the Florida Turnpike in response to the coronavirus. Recently, Governor Ron DeSantis and the FDOT director announced some news that may come as some relief to drivers with a soon-to-expire license.
A 30-day extension past their initial expiry date will be given to all Florida driver licenses, commercial driver’s licenses, and identification cards due to expire in the next 30 days. During the extension period, delinquent renewal fees will be waived.
Furthermore, Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is encouraging Floridians who can complete their electronic driver license or motor vehicle transactions online to do so, rather than in person at a driver’s license bureau. Floridians may use GoRenew.com to register a motor vehicle, renew their license, change their address, and much more.
Under normal circumstances, driving with an expired license in the state of Florida during the grace period may result in a $30 fine.
