A driver's license search can be used to determine if a license is currently valid or invalid.

1. Go to www.browardclerk.org
2. Select Online Services and Driver License Search
3. On the Driver License Search screen, enter your Florida Driver License number (do not enter dashes) and click Submit. This search may take up to 60 seconds.
4. The License Search Result will display driver license number and the License Status, which will indicate whether or not the driver license is currently valid.

Only Florida Driver License numbers can be searched through the Clerk of Courts website. To check the status of a license that was issued by a state other than Florida, you must contact the state where the license was issued.

If the case does not reflect a Florida Driver License number and a license suspension has been issued, you can still pay for the citation, as long as it does not require proof or court appearance. Citations, such as, Failure to Display License, Registration or Insurance need to be seen by the Clerk's office in order to be charged the correct court fees. You may also pay for the D6 suspension fee; however, if you do not hold a Florida Driver License you will not be able to pay the reinstatement fee with the Clerk or on the Clerk's website.
