DHSMV Community Update / Informe Comunitario - July 2011

We continue our effort to inform our customers about motorist services and highway safety issues.  The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles distributes electronically the "Community Update / Informe Comunitario" attached to inform Floridians.  There are two versions, one in English and another in Spanish.

 We ask everyone to become familiar with our outreach initiative by visiting www.GatherGoGet.com, www.ReunaVengaObtenga.com in Spanish, and  www.RasanbleAlePran.com in Creole.  The State of Florida is issuing REAL ID compliant driver licenses and identifications and the public needs to be aware of the documentation requirements in place.  We need you to help us inform our customers of the requirements in order serve them the first time they visit one of our offices and to avoid return visits for lack of documentation. 

The links above are the best source of personalized information about the documents to bring to one of our offices when renewing or replacing a driver license or identification card.  We appreciate your help in making the information available to people in your organizations and other individuals.  It will help us serve our customers better.

Best regards y saludos,

Modesto W. Burgos
