Proof of Residency

There is no time requirement before you are allowed to apply for residency status. The simplest way to establish residency in Florida is to register to vote.

Vehicle Registration

Newcomers must register their vehicles within 10 days of gaining employment or registering their children in school. Vehicles can be registered at the South Santa Rosa Service Center east of town, or at the tag office in Quietwater Business Park. You must register your vehicle before you can obtain a driver's license.

Driver's License

New residents must apply for a driver's license within 30 days of becoming Florida residents. Drivers with valid licenses from another state will only be required to take a vision examination. All other applicants must take three tests: vision, written and driving. Florida driver's licenses are valid for six years.
