Florida Driver History Records 3 year. Complete Record. Cost of report: $16.99: $18.99: $21.99. Original issue date on driver license. I am filling out the residency online and it was asking for the driver license of my claimant. It asked for the current issue date and I know what that is. There is an original issue date line on my Florida DL, but I'm likely a bit older so the format may have changed.

If you just want to check the status of your license, you can do that for free through the website of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
