Thanks Pierre, seems this is something new, some friends of ours got a call from FL DMV this morning to tell them they can no longer register the vehicle in FL unless they have a residential street address with proof of utility bill etc. Just trying to find out if this is an isolated incident, don't want to go through the change in residency again.

I tried Pieere's link, and it is showing up to me as a dead link.  So, I Googled for Florida DMV and got this online resource.

Florida DMV

What I saw didn't seem to say anything about utility bills and such, but who knows if the website is really up to date.

Thanks guys, it was someone that worked at the FL DMV that called my neighbor, she was told that her vehicle registration she had just applied for was being returned to her in the mail. They told her that the requirements had changed and that they needed to have an actual residence in FL now. I will do some more research and get the correct details, just wondered if there really were any changes, we are just about to send off for our own reg'

Thanks, huggs Kim x

 Sounds a bit odd that the FL DMV would call your neighbor to be told.... that just doesn't sound right. Government bureaucracy doesn't go out of it's way to call people when they find an issue on something as routine as a vehicle registration. A form letter, maybe. My warning bells would be going off, as there is potential chance of ID theft. I'm with Barb and Jim, get confirmation with St. Brendan's Isle.

We are also with St Brendan's Isle. We registered our vehicles and got our licenses in January of this year and had no issues.

I called St Brendens Isle. I had every intention of doing that and had already tried but I guess it was too early.

It seems that they are (the DMV) flagging the mailing service address in FL, because too many people are using that address on their licenses. BUT, it only pertains to people with a CDL license. My neighbor is a truck driver and needs a CDL. He has been told by SBI that he does need another residential address in FL to renew it, he can no longer use the SBI address on his license.

Thank you to everyone that responded

Thanks for telling us what you found. It'll put many Dreamer's minds at ease.

Welcome, we were one of those that would have been affected too. Happy to find out there are no changes for us without CDL's
