Lake Worth DMV location and what you can do there

Lake Worth has one Florida Department of Motor Vehicles office located at 6800 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, FL 33467. This office handles standard driver license services: new licenses, renewals, replacements, and address changes. You can also handle some commercial license transactions and take the written knowledge test here.

The Lake Worth office does not conduct road tests. If you need a driving exam, you will be directed to a separate testing facility in the area. The office staff can tell you which location handles road tests when you call or visit.

Walk-ins are accepted, but appointment slots fill quickly during peak hours. Booking ahead reduces your wait time significantly.

  • The Lake Worth office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with limited hours on some days; check the Florida DMV website for exact hours before you go.
  • If you need a road test, the Lake Worth office will refer you to an approved testing location; road tests are not performed at this office.
  • Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early with all required documents to avoid delays or rescheduling.

How to book your appointment online

The Florida DMV website (flhsmv.gov) has an online appointment scheduler. Go to the site, select "Schedule an Appointment," and choose the Lake Worth location from the dropdown menu. You will then select the type of service you need—renewal, new license, replacement, or address change—and the system will show available dates and times.

You will need to provide your driver license number or ID number to complete the booking. If you do not have a Florida ID yet, you cannot use the online system; call instead. The system confirms your appointment by email, so use an email address you check regularly.

Appointments typically fill 30 to 60 days in advance during busy seasons. If no slots appear for your preferred date, check back a few days later—cancellations open up regularly.

Booking by phone if online is not an option

Call the Florida DMV customer service line at 1-844-435-7352. Tell the representative you want to book at the Lake Worth location and describe the service you need. They will check availability and book the appointment for you over the phone.

Phone lines are busiest between 9 a.m. and noon on weekdays. Calling early morning or late afternoon usually means shorter hold times. Have your driver license number or ID number ready when you call.

The representative will confirm your appointment time and ask for a callback number in case the office needs to reach you. Write down your confirmation number—you will need it if you need to reschedule or cancel.

Documents to bring to your Lake Worth appointment

Bring your current Florida driver license or ID card. If you do not have one, bring a valid out-of-state license or passport. You will also need proof of residency dated within the last 90 days: a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement with your name and Lake Worth address.

Bring your Social Security card or a document showing your Social Security number (tax return, W-2, or Social Security statement). If you do not have a Social Security number, bring your ITIN documentation. You will also need to bring proof of lawful presence in the United States if you are not a U.S. citizen—a passport, visa, or employment authorization document.

If you are renewing and your name has changed since your last license, bring a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the name change. For a replacement license, bring a police report if yours was stolen.

What to expect during your appointment

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Check in at the front desk and provide your confirmation number. A staff member will verify your documents, take your photograph, and collect your fee. Fees vary by service type: renewals cost less than new licenses, and replacements have their own fee structure. The Lake Worth office accepts cash, debit, and credit cards.

If you are taking the written knowledge test, you will be directed to a testing station after your documents are processed. The test takes 20 to 30 minutes. You must score at least 80 percent to pass.

Your new license will be mailed to your address within 7 to 10 business days. You will receive a temporary paper license at your appointment that is valid until your card arrives.

If you need to reschedule or cancel

Cancel or reschedule through the Florida DMV website using your confirmation number, or call 1-844-435-7352. Cancellations made at least 24 hours before your appointment time do not incur a fee. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, you may lose your appointment slot.

If you miss your appointment without canceling, you will need to book a new one. The office does not automatically reschedule no-shows.

Road tests and next steps after your appointment

The Lake Worth DMV office does not conduct driving exams. If you need a road test, the staff will provide you with a list of approved testing locations in the area and instructions for booking. Road tests are typically scheduled separately from your appointment at the DMV office.

You must pass the written test before you can take a road test. If you fail the written exam, you can retake it the same day or reschedule for another appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk in without an appointment?

Yes, walk-ins are accepted at the Lake Worth office, but you will likely wait longer than if you had booked ahead. During busy times, walk-in wait times can exceed two hours. An appointment is faster, but not required.

What if I do not have proof of residency?

You must bring a document dated within 90 days showing your name and Lake Worth address. If you recently moved and do not have a utility bill or lease yet, bring a bank statement, mortgage statement, or letter from your landlord on letterhead with your address. Call the Lake Worth office at the number on the DMV website to ask what documents they will accept in your situation.

How long does the appointment take?

Most appointments take 15 to 30 minutes if you have all required documents. If you are taking the written test, add another 20 to 30 minutes. Appointments can take longer if documents are missing or if the office is unusually busy.

Can I renew my license before it expires?

Yes. Florida allows you to renew your license up to one year before the expiration date. Renewing early does not change your expiration date—your new license will expire one year from your current expiration date, not from the renewal date.

What if my appointment time does not work anymore?

Reschedule through the Florida DMV website or by calling 1-844-435-7352. Rescheduling is free if you do it at least 24 hours before your original appointment time. If you reschedule with less notice, you may lose your slot and have to book a new one.
