Surrendered Driver License/ID for Someone Who is Deceased

If you are interested in surrendering a Florida driver license or ID card for someone who is deceased, access the State of Florida's Driver License Status Check (mydmvportal.flhsmv.gov/Home/en/PublicWeb/DLCheck). Enter the deceased individual's driver license/ID card number to check the status of their record. If their record has been marked as "deceased" (see example below) there is nothing more that needs to be completed.

If the record does not indicate "deceased," you can surrender the Florida driver license or ID card by choosing one of the two options below:
 

Option 1: BY MAIL – NO CHARGE

 
You can choose to mail a copy of the death certificate and the deceased individual’s Florida driver license or ID card (cut in half) to the following address:
 

 
If you choose this option, you must include a signed statement requesting the cancellation of the deceased individual’s Florida driver license or ID card.
 

Option 2: IN PERSON - SERVICE FEE CHARGED

 
You can choose to visit the Driver License Office located at 904 301 Blvd. W. to surrender a deceased individual’s Florida driver license or ID card.
 
If you choose this option, you must present a copy of the individual’s death certificate and their original Florida driver license or ID card. You will be charged a $6.25 service fee. We will accept cash, check, debit cards, and credit cards. A $2.50 processing fee for debit cards and a 2.5% processing fee (minimum of $2.50) for credit cards will apply. Our office does not retain any portion of this fee.
