Your plan

1. Gather your documents

   • Proof of identity
     Original, with your complete name. Only birth certificates from a county health department or the CDC Bureau of Vital Statistics are accepted. Puerto Rico birth certificates must be issued after July 1, 2010.
     Accepted documents (bring 1)

     • U.S. birth certificate (not a hospital birth certificate)
     • Valid U.S. passport or passport card
     • Consular Report of Birth Abroad
     • Certificate of Naturalization (N-550 or N-570)
     • Certificate of Citizenship (N-560 or N-561)
   • Proof of your Social Security number
     Original, with your complete name and full SSN. The name on your SSN must match the name that will be on your card. Non-immigrants and Canadians without work authorization don't need an SSN or an SSA letter. If you show a work-authorization document but have no SSN, bring an SSA letter of ineligibility.
     Accepted documents (bring 1)

     • Social Security card (with your current name)
     • W-2 form (not handwritten)
     • Paycheck or pay stub
     • SSA-1099
     • Any 1099 (not handwritten)
   • Two proofs of Florida residential address · 2 different documents
     Two different documents with your Florida residential address. Printouts or faxes are accepted. Your current license or ID card doesn't count. Many must be dated within the last 60 days. If none are in your name, the person you live with can complete a Certification of Address form; they must come with you or sign it in front of a notary, and bring two proofs of address in their name from the list on that form (HSMV-71120).
     Accepted documents (bring 2)

     • Deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement, or residential rental or lease agreement
     • Florida voter registration card (listed for U.S. citizens)
     • Valid Florida vehicle registration or title
     • Utility bill: water, gas, electricity, cell phone or cable (within the last 60 days)
     • Automobile payment booklet (within the last 60 days)
     • Medical or health card, or medical bill (within the last 60 days)
     • Homeowner or automobile insurance policy or bill (within the last 60 days)
     • W-2, 1099 or paycheck stub (dated within the last 60 days)
     • Bank, credit card or investment account statement (within the last 60 days)
     • Mail from a federal, state, county or city government agency (within the last 60 days)
     • Letter from a homeless shelter, transitional service provider or halfway house (within the last 60 days)
