Florida will add the legal status of an individual on driver's licenses and ID cards starting in 2027. This change is part of the Florida SAVE Act legislative package. New, renewed, and replacement driver's licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027, will indicate whether the holder is a US citizen or has another legal immigration status. The regulation will be phased in as drivers go through the renewal or replacement process. Existing IDs will remain valid until their expiration date.
