How do I check my drivers license status in Florida?

If you renewed online but have not received your new license yet, use the state's online status check website (mydmvportal.flhsmv.gov/home/en/publicweb/dlcheck) to see if/when your license was mailed. If you ordered online, it takes a minimum of 7 to 10 business days to receive – that's a full two weeks.

If the results page reads, “valid,” your driver's license is not suspended and you maintain the right to drive.
