How much does it cost to renew a driver’s license in Florida?

My driver’s license is approaching its expiration date, but money is tight right now. I want to properly budget for this upcoming expense, so can you tell me how much it costs to renew a Florida driver’s license?

Sorry to hear money is a bit tight right now, but look on the bright side: budgeting is an important skill to master! The renewal fee for a
Florida
driver’s license is $48.
Your driver’s license will be valid for eight years, and you can renew it up to 18 months before it expires.
You have three options for renewing your Florida driver’s license:
  • Online through the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) MyDMV Portal
  • In person at your local FLHSMV location
  • By mail, if eligible
If you’re trying to upgrade to a Real ID, you must renew in person. In addition to the renewal fee, be sure to bring the following with you:
  • Identification: A U.S. passport, birth certificate, or DHS-issued Certificate of Naturalization
  • Social Security number: Your current license, school record showing date of birth and registrar’s signature, or marriage certificate
  • Two documents proving Florida residency: A voter registration card, tax document, FL vehicle registration/title
