[edit] HOW TO RENEW YOUR MOTORCYCLE LICENSE
A Florida Motorcycle License can be renewed online, by mail, by phone or in person at the local DHS&MV office in the State. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles notifies owners of the expiration date of their motorcycle license by mail in advance.
[edit] WHEN TO RENEW YOUR MOTORCYCLE LICENSE
Your Florida motorcycle license is valid for four years and will generally expire on your birthday. People who have a good driving record, with no conviction for three years and seven years without suspension or revocation, are eligible for ‘safe driver' motorcycle license which is valid for six years. You may renew your license up to 18 months prior to expiration.

- Bring the expired motorcycle license or bring proof of citizenship or legal presence.
- Provide your Social security number
- Pay the renewal fee.
- Drivers 80 years of age or older are required to take a vision test.
