The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed on weekends and state holidays.

Parking is available on-site. The building is accessible to people with mobility needs. If you cannot reach the Pompano Beach location, the nearest alternative DMV offices are in Fort Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach, both within 10 to 15 minutes by car.

What documents to bring
The documents you need depend on what you are doing at the DMV. For a renewal, bring your current driver license and proof of residency (a recent utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement with your name and address). For a replacement due to loss or damage, bring your current ID and a police report if the license was stolen.
If you are changing your address, bring your current license and proof of your new address. For a new license, you will need proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or state ID), proof of Social Security number (Social Security card or tax return), and proof of residency. The DMV website lists all acceptable documents for each transaction type.
How to schedule an appointment online
Go to flhsmv.gov and select "Schedule an Appointment" from the homepage. Choose "Driver License" as the transaction type, then select the Pompano Beach office location. The system will show available appointment times for the next several weeks. Pick a date and time that works for you, enter your contact information, and you will receive a confirmation email with your appointment number.
Save your confirmation email or write down your appointment number — you will need it when you arrive. If you cannot schedule online or prefer to book by phone, call (954) 357-5500 during office hours. The staff can schedule you over the phone and answer questions about what documents to bring.
What to expect during your visit
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment time. Check in at the front desk with your appointment number and ID. You will be called to a window where a staff member will review your documents, take your photo and signature, and process your transaction. The entire visit usually takes 15 to 30 minutes if your paperwork is complete.
If documents are missing or incomplete, the staff will tell you what you need to bring back. You can reschedule your appointment at that time. If everything is in order, you will receive a temporary license on paper that day, and your permanent license will arrive by mail within 7 to 10 business days.
Fees and payment methods
Driver license renewal costs $75.00 for an eight-year license in Florida. A replacement license costs $25.00. An address change alone costs $10.00. These fees vary slightly if you are getting a REAL ID-compliant license or a commercial driver license. The DMV accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards at the Pompano Beach office.
If you are renewing online instead of in person, the fee is $10.00 less. Not all transactions can be done online — only standard renewals for people whose licenses are not expired by more than five years. Check the Florida DMV website to see if your renewal qualifies for the online option.
If you cannot get to Pompano Beach
The Fort Lauderdale DMV office is at 1350 West Sunrise Boulevard, about 8 miles south of Pompano Beach. The Deerfield Beach office is at 1200 East Hillsboro Boulevard, about 10 miles north. Both have the same hours and appointment system as Pompano Beach. You can schedule at either location through the same flhsmv.gov website.
If you live outside Broward County, you may find it faster to visit a DMV office in your own county. Every Florida county has at least one DMV location. The Florida DMV website has a full list of all office locations, hours, and phone numbers statewide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I renew my license by mail or online instead of going in person?
You can renew online through flhsmv.gov if your license is not expired by more than five years and you do not need to update your photo or address. Online renewal costs $65.00 and takes about a week. If your license is expired longer than five years or you need a new photo, you must visit an office in person.
What if I do not have an appointment?
The Pompano Beach office does not accept walk-ins. You must schedule an appointment through the website or by phone. If you need a license urgently, call (954) 357-5500 to ask about same-day or next-day openings, or try scheduling at the Fort Lauderdale or Deerfield Beach offices, which may have sooner availability.
How long does it take to get my permanent license after my visit?
You receive a temporary paper license the day of your visit. Your permanent plastic license arrives by mail in 7 to 10 business days. If you do not receive it within two weeks, call the office to check the status of your order.
Do I need a REAL ID to get a driver license in Florida?
A standard Florida driver license is not a REAL ID. If you need a REAL ID-compliant license for federal travel or building access, you can request one at the DMV office. It costs $15.00 more than a standard license and requires additional proof of citizenship or legal residency.
What if my name has changed since my last license?
Bring your current license, proof of your legal name change (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order), and your other required documents. The staff will process the name change and issue a new license with your updated name. This is treated as a replacement, so the fee is $25.00.
