The Validity of Electronic Florida Licenses

When Florida drivers were pulled over by a police offer in the past, they were required to present physical versions of their auto insurance. Today, an electronic version of an insurance card is considered valid. This does not, however, apply to a driver’s license.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2020 -- Unlike insurance, drivers must show their physical license and it's likely to remain so. Using an electronic version of the license to drive a vehicle is essentially like driving unlicensed and may, therefore, lead to a citation. Bear in mind, however, that driving with a license that is not valid, even if a physical one is issued, is also illegal. As a misdemeanor, it can bear heavy fines and may also result in prison time.

Exemptions may exist that a traffic ticket lawyer can likely answer. For example, there may be exemptions or special provisions for military personnel.
