Frequently Asked Questions

Forms

In 1997, the Florida Legislature passed a bill which allows citizens to protect their personal information on Florida’s motor vehicle and driver license data bases. Protected information includes:
- name
- address
- driver license or identification card number
- phone number
- social security number
- medical or disability information
You have two options. You may block access to your record subject to certain exceptions. In addition, you may choose to prevent the release of your information for use in surveys, marketing, or other bulk mailings.
We will block your records based on the information you provide to us. You must provide us your driver license number and the title or license plate numbers for all the vehicles you own, if you want each of those records protected.
