New state requirement for driver license re-testing in effect

Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy C. Millan announced last week that Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle (FLHSMV) implemented a procedural change for driver license re-resting with motorists whose licenses have been expired for a year or more.

Drivers will be required to complete written and vision exams in order to obtain their license again. Millan said this includes drivers who meet the following criteria:

• Drivers who have completed the written exam but did not obtain their license within one year of their written exam pass date
• Drivers who downgraded from a Class E license to an ID card, and their driver license has been expired for a year or more
• Drivers who did not apply to renew their license within the one-year delinquent renewal period
• Drivers applying for a Florida license whose out-of-state license has been expired for a year or more

“I encourage Hillsborough County drivers to renew their driver license in a timely manner,” Millan said in a press release. “Customers who need to be re-tested should schedule a written test appointment online through our website at hillstax.org.”

Hillsborough County Tax Collector offices are currently open only to those who have scheduled appointments. Visit hillstax.org to schedule an appointment or get more information.
