The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles consists
of the following divisions:
THE DIVISION OF DRIVER LICENSES administers
examinations to qualify persons to drive on Florida's highways.
Its primary mission is to promote and maintain the highest
possible driving standards on the streets and highways of
the State of Florida and remove unsafe drivers from the highways.
THE DIVISION OF THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL enforces
all state laws pertaining to motor vehicles, patrols the state
highway system to help ensure the safety of all drivers and
implements the state traffic safety program. Each trooper
is always ready and willing to render assistance to the motoring
public.
THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES regulates
the sale and distribution of all motor vehicles and vessels
in Florida. The division administers the sale of license plates
through county tax collectors and authorized tag agents for
every automobile, vessel, trailer, truck, mobile home, camper
and motorcycle that operates on the public roads. In addition,
the division keeps records on every motor vehicle that is
titled or registered in Florida and enforces mobile home construction
standards and the licensing of motor vehicle dealers.
THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION manages
data processing for the agency's operating divisions.
THE DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES manages
the functions of payroll, personnel, purchasing, accounting
