Public Records
Public Records
Florida law and sound records management practices
require the collection of certain personal information in
the driver licensing process. This personal information identifies
an individual and is used for records management, driver improvement,
financial responsibility, and law enforcement purposes.
Failure to provide the required information will result in
denial of a license or identification card. Falsification
of information may result in prosecution. Florida law specifies
that all documents or other material made or received in connection
with the transaction of official business by any agency are
public records. In addition to all documents, information
taken from them is subject to public disclosure under Florida's
Public Records Act. This information, except for medical data,
which is confidential by law, is regularly given to law enforcement
agencies, insurance companies, credit bureaus, lending institutions,
and any other qualified person.
The Division of Driver Licenses strives to ensure the accuracy
of information obtained in the licensing process and makes
every effort to correct any incorrect information in its files.
Incorrect information may be corrected by supplying with your
complete name, date of birth, driver license number, information
on the nature of the error and proof that it is an error to
the Chief, Bureau of Driver License Records, Neil Kirkman
Building, MS 89, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0575, or telephone
(850) 922-9000. Certain information, such as conviction reports
received from a court, can only be corrected upon notification
from the court that the report was in error.
Automobile insurance information is exempt from the Public
Records Law. This information is provided to any party involved
in the crash, their attorney or insurance company, law enforcement
agencies and officers of the court, after receiving a written
request and copy of the crash report.
