Where the Pembroke Pines Driver License Office Is Located

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) operates a driver license office in Pembroke Pines at 11380 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines, FL 33026. This location serves Broward County residents and handles standard driver license and identification card transactions.

The office is in a commercial area near the intersection of Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road. If you are using GPS or a map app, search for the street address directly rather than "DMV Pembroke Pines," as that may return other government offices in the area.

Current Hours and When to Visit

The Pembroke Pines office operates Monday through Friday. Hours vary by day and change seasonally, so calling ahead is the only way to confirm the exact schedule for the week you plan to visit. The main number for the office is (954) 497-0500.

Most DHSMV offices close for lunch between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m., and some days have earlier closing times than others. Calling 15 minutes before you leave home prevents a wasted trip if the office closes early that day or has unexpected staffing changes.

The office does not operate on state holidays. If a holiday falls on a weekday, that location will be closed, and you will need to visit on another day or go to a different Broward County office.

What Documents to Bring

The documents you need depend on whether you are renewing, replacing, or obtaining a new driver license. For any transaction, bring your current valid ID (passport, military ID, or current Florida driver license) and proof of your current residential address. Acceptable proof includes a recent utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or government mail with your name and address.

If you are renewing a license that is still valid or expired less than six months ago, you may be able to renew by mail or online without visiting the office. Check the DHSMV website or call the Pembroke Pines office to see if your situation qualifies for remote renewal.

If you are replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged license, bring a police report (if the license was stolen) and your proof of residency. If you are obtaining your first Florida driver license, bring proof of your Social Security number, date of birth, and legal name, along with proof of residency.

Services Available at This Location

Not all DHSMV services are available at every office. Vehicle registration, title transfers, and commercial driver license (CDL) transactions may require a visit to a different location. Call ahead to confirm the office offers the specific service you need.

Wait Times and How to Reduce Them

Wait times at the Pembroke Pines office vary by day and time of day. Mornings, especially Tuesday through Thursday, typically have shorter waits than afternoons or Mondays and Fridays. If you call the office before visiting, staff can sometimes give you an estimate of the current wait.

Some DHSMV transactions may be faster at a different Broward County location. If you are flexible about which office you visit, calling two or three nearby locations to compare wait times can save you an hour or more. Offices in less densely populated areas often have shorter queues than central locations.

Other Broward County Driver License Offices

If the Pembroke Pines office has a long wait or inconvenient hours for your schedule, you may find a shorter wait or better hours at offices in Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, or other nearby cities. All Broward County offices handle the same services and accept the same documents.

You do not have to visit the office closest to your home. Visit whichever location works best for your schedule, as long as you bring proof of your current Broward County residency.
