Florida's Certification of Address for Class E Driver License & Identification Cards: An Overview

The State of Florida, through the Division of Motorist Services, has a systematic process for verifying the residential addresses of applicants for Class E driver licenses and identification cards. This is in line with Sections 322.051 and 322.08 of the Florida Statutes.

Key Points of the Certification of Address Document (FLHSMV 71120):

• Purpose: This document serves as a verification of an applicant’s residential address when they cannot provide two standard proofs of address.

• Applicant Information (Section A):

  • Requires the applicant to provide their name and full residential address.

  • The applicant must certify the accuracy of the information given.

• Individual Certification (Section B):

  • An individual, referred to as the "Certifier", can vouch for the applicant’s residential address if they provide the acceptable address documents.

  • The certifier confirms the applicant resides at the stated address.

• Notary or Issuance Personnel Acknowledgment (Section C):

  • The certifier’s signature must be notarized or witnessed to ensure authenticity.

• Usage Instructions:

  • Minors living with parents can use two documents with the parent/guardian’s address or follow the specified process for those without standard address proofs.

  • Individuals can self-certify their address if they present one address requirement in their name.

  • Homeless individuals or those residing in shelters can provide a letter from their housing agency and self-certify their address.

• Not Suitable for Commercial Licenses: The Certification of Address is not applicable for Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) and Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders.

• Acceptable Residential Address Documents:

  • The list includes deeds, Florida voter/vehicle/boat registration cards, utility bills, educational transcripts, professional licenses, W-2 or 1099 forms, letters from homeless shelters, mail from government agencies, and many more.

• Penalties for False Information: It's crucial to note that knowingly providing false information in relation to the application is a punishable offense under Florida law.

For those seeking to obtain a Class E driver license or ID in Florida, understanding the Certification of Address process is essential. It ensures compliance with the state's regulations and aids in smooth application procedures.
