Florida Driver’s Licence and Florida Identification Card
The state of Florida does not require a Florida driver’s licence number in order to register a vehicle.
Snowbirds may apply at a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles office for a state identification card,
which resembles a driver’s licence.
Under U.S. federal law, Canadian citizens are non-immigrants who are allowed to stay in the United
States temporarily without obtaining U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) form I-94 Record of
Arrival/Departure. Canadians without CBP documents must provide proof of Canadian citizenship to
be issued a Florida driver’s licence or identification card by presenting the following documents:
•
•
One of:
•
•
Valid Canadian passport
•
•
Original or certified Canadian birth certificate
•
•
Canadian Naturalization Certificate
•
•
Valid Canadian driver’s licence
•
•
Canadian Certificate of Citizenship
•
•
And proof of a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN). If you do not, as is the case with most
snowbirds, have an SSN then a letter from the Social Security Administration saying you were
never issued an SSN along with either your Canadian passport or Canadian provincial/territorial
driver’s licence is sufficient.
•
•
And proof of your Florida residential address by providing two of:
•
•

residential rental/lease agreement
