Oh Driver's License, You So Crazy! How to Fix That Funky Florida Photo (and Other Errors)

Let's face it, Florida. You're the sunshine state, the land of oranges and alligators (hopefully not sharing the same pool), and...apparently, the occasional driver's license mishap. Did you accidentally submit a selfie where you look like you just wrestled a hurricane? Maybe your middle name mysteriously vanished into thin air. Don't worry, we've all been there (except maybe for the wrestling a hurricane part).

The good news is, fixing a whoopsie on your Florida driver's license is easier than parallel parking in a Disney World parking lot (which, let's be honest, is pretty darn tricky). So, grab your fanciest sunglasses (because let's face it, you'll probably need them in Florida anyway) and get ready to learn how to turn that frown upside down (or at least get an accurate picture on your ID).

  • Hit the Interwebs: The FLHSMV website has a wealth of information on [how to change your name on your Florida driver's license](link to FLHSMV name change info). While it might not be the most glamorous adventure, you can probably find what you need there.
  • In-Person Inquisition: Feeling brave? Head down to your local driver's license office. Just be prepared for a potential wait (because, well, government offices).
