Residents of Homestead should mark their calendars for August 27, as the Florida Licensing on Wheels (FLOW) mobile office will be returning to town. The City of Homestead has confirmed that FLOW will set up shop at the William F. Dickinson Community Center, located at 1601 North Krome Avenue, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to provide a variety of DMV services, minus the driving tests this time around. This initiative offers locals the chance to skip the notorious DMV queues, addressing necessities such as driver's license renewals and vehicle registrations right in their neighborhood. More info can be found on the city's official announcement.
According to the details released, some of the services at the event, which was a hit in its previous incarnation, include issuing first-time licenses and converting out-of-state licenses at a fee of $48.00, and processing address or name changes for $25.00. Lost or stolen licenses can also be replaced for $25.00, whereas the no fee poverty letter, and emergency contact information registration are generously provided for free. The center will also facilitate vehicle registration renewals and provide disabled parking placard issuance and renewals, with fees varying by service.
In order to access the mobile DMV services, attendees must be prepared with proof of identification such as a U.S. Birth Certificate or valid U.S. Passport, their Social Security Card for proof of Social Security Number, and two forms of proof of address—examples given include a Voter Registration Card and a utility statement. Payments are accepted through a variety of methods: cash, credit card, or check. Though walk-ins are welcome, securing an appointment is recommended to ensure service, which can be booked at the city's website.
For those interested, particulars about the services available and the full list of acceptable documents are detailed on the City of Homestead website.
