What services require an appointment at the Pembroke Pines office

The Pembroke Pines DMV handles most common driver license and vehicle registration services. You can book an appointment for a new driver license, license renewal, Real ID upgrade, duplicate license, address change, name change, vehicle registration, title transfer, and vehicle inspection. The online system shows which services are available on each date, so you know before you book whether your specific need can be handled that day.

Some services, like commercial driver license (CDL) testing, may require a separate process or may not be available at every location. If you are unsure whether the Pembroke Pines office handles your service, call ahead at (954) 962-8000 rather than booking an appointment for something they cannot do.

How to use the DHSMV online appointment system

Go to www.flhsmv.gov and look for the "Appointment Scheduling" or "Book an Appointment" link on the homepage. Click it and you will be taken to the scheduling system. Select "Pembroke Pines" from the location dropdown, then choose the service category that matches what you need — for example, "Driver License Services" or "Vehicle Services."

The system will show you available dates and times for the next several weeks. Pick the slot that works for you and enter your name, phone number, and email address. You will receive a confirmation email with your appointment number, date, time, and a list of documents to bring. Save this email or write down your confirmation number — you will need it when you arrive.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, log back into the system with your confirmation number and email address. You can change your appointment up to 24 hours before your scheduled time without penalty.

What to bring to your Pembroke Pines DMV appointment

Bring your confirmation number and a valid photo ID. The documents you need depend on your service. For a new driver license, bring proof of residency (a recent utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement), proof of Social Security number (your Social Security card or tax return), and proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or previous license). For a Real ID upgrade, bring the same documents plus your current driver license.

For vehicle services like registration or title transfer, bring your current registration, proof of ownership, and a valid ID. If you are renewing your license, bring your current license and proof of residency. The confirmation email you receive will list the specific documents required for your service, so check it before you go.

Bring originals or certified copies — photocopies are usually not accepted. If you are unsure whether a document counts as proof of residency or identity, call (954) 962-8000 before your appointment to avoid a wasted trip.

What to do if you cannot find an available appointment

If the online system shows no open slots for weeks ahead, check back frequently — cancellations happen daily and new slots are released regularly. You can also call (954) 962-8000 and ask the staff whether they have cancellations they can book over the phone, or whether another Broward County DMV office has sooner availability.

If you need service urgently and cannot wait, walk-ins are accepted, though you will wait longer. Arrive early in the morning on a weekday for the shortest wait. Alternatively, you may be able to handle some services at a different Broward County DMV office — the DHSMV website lists all locations and their hours.
