INTRODUCTION  DISCLAIMER  WARNING  PUBLIC RECORDS  The Official Florida Driver License Handbook—rev. 05/22/2020  i  FLHSMV strives to ensure the accuracy of the information obtained during the  licensing process. If you discover any incorrect information, please call us at (850)  617-2000 or mail your request with your complete name, date of birth, driver  license number, information about the error, and any documentation to support  your request to: Chief of the Bureau of Records, 2900 Apalachee Parkway MS 89,  Tallahassee, FL 32399-0575. Some information, such as reports of convictions  received from a court, can only be corrected if notification from the court is received  that the report was in error.  Florida’s Public Records Law makes all records made or received by FLHSMV in the  course of its official business available for inspection, unless specifically exempted by  law. Your personal information, including name, address, and driver license number  is exempt from public disclosure, but may be given to law enforcement agencies and  other entities permitted by law to get the information. Your medical information,  social security number, and emergency contact information are available only as  specifically authorized by law.  Florida law requires the FLHSMV to collect certain personal information during the  licensing process. This information, which identifies licensed individuals, is used  for records management, driver improvement, financial responsibility, and law  enforcement purposes. If you do not provide the required information, you will not  receive a driver license or ID card.  In addition, it is illegal to permit or authorize an unlicensed person to drive a motor  vehicle and doing so can result in a 60 day jail sentence and a $500 fine. If the vehicle  is involved in a crash resulting in bodily injury or death of any person, the person who  permitted the unlicensed person to drive may (unless this is an automatic mandatory  suspension) have his/her license suspended for one year.  Florida law prohibits using a false name, making a false statement, concealing a  material fact or otherwise using fraud in an application for a driver license or ID card.  The penalty can be up to five years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and suspension of any  existing driving privilege for at least one year.  The  Official Florida Driver License Handbook  contains many condensed and  paraphrased points of Florida laws and provides safety advice not specifically  addressed in the laws.
