Adding contact info to your Florida drivers license

Adding contact info to your Florida drivers license


 Did you know you can go online and easily enter two (2) emergency contacts into your Florida Driver’s License record?

This information can only be retrieved by a police officer.

This came about as a result of one woman’s teenage daughter being severely injured in a car accident and it taking over five hours for authorities to locate the mother to inform her.

This way, if you are in an accident, the police/sheriff’s deputy can run your driver’s license and have your emergency contact info ASAP.

The link asks for your Florida Driver’s License Number and then your birth date information for security verification.  Notice the Secure Assurance seal.

Please consider forwarding this notice to family and friends in Florida.  It’s a vital link to your loved ones just in case anything happens.
