When reporting temporary or permanent address changes to the DHSMV…

Please reply with your response and the County (Florida only) in which this applies.

When you report to the DHSMV (Driver’s license office) to notify of temporary (3 days in the aggregate) or permanent (3 consecutive days) address changes within Florida,

(1) Do they require you pay a fee to report this information?

(2) Do they require you obtain a new physical Driver’s License or ID Card?

(3) Do they require you make an appointment or wait in line?

    I’ve done it both ways. What I mean by that is when I went to Jacksonville, Duval County I had to pay for a new Driver’s license. When I went to Gainesville, Alachua County , I was able to pay $6 dollars and some change, because I had no proof of address. So, I received paperwork that shows my new” temporary” address. I’m confused about this whole thing; one county has me get a new driver’s license and it costs about $35.00. Don’t hold me to that price. I will be transferring from Maron County to Alachua County very soon, so I can give you an updated process.

    New ID is required for each address change

    Gotta pay the standard fee,

    Appointment before 2:00 pm – after that is pot luck as to when you’ll be seen.

    (1) To add a permanent address, yes because a new ID was required. I cannot recall regarding temporary.
    (2) Yes, for permanent changes but not for temporary addresses.
    (3) Wait in line, but it’s feasible that it could close before being seen.

    I went there to report and they said they had no idea of what I wanted them to do or what I was reporting or why. I explained the law and they said they had no knowledge of any reporting by sex offenders to DMV. The clerk i was with asked her manager and I saw him shrugging his shoulders…

      I’m a little behind on these. I have reread the 943.0435(4)(a) statute and it does say to go to the DMV for each change in permanent, temporary or transient residence. But what for? A temporary address for 3 or 4 days isnt’ going be put on your drivers license and then you go back and put your permanent address on it after 4 day. I live in Duval and specifically asked about this and they say no you don’t need to do that for a temporary address.

      I recently took a two week trip on my little sailboat and the head of the registration said, after the officer taking the info ask her what to do, that I didn’t even need to come in because they have my boat info already and I was staying on the boat. They put one the registration form “sailing in Fl waters” until such and such date.
