SECURITY CHECK!

You can go to the State of Florida web site and block the DMV from passing on any of your information.

Go to www.hsmv.state.fl.us, Click on ON LINE DRIVER LICENSE CHECK to verify if your driver's license is valid.

Once the system verifies that your license is valid it will let you know whether or not your license is blocked and will give you the opportunity to block it at that time by following the instructions. It only takes about 30 sec to do. Please do it!
