How do I check whether my Florida license is suspended?
Check it directly with the state rather than guessing. The Florida DHSMV runs a driver license check where you enter your information and it tells you the current status of your license, including any suspension and what caused it.
And you can call them instead if you would rather hear it from a person. The DHSMV number is (850) 617-2000. Either way you are getting it from the source, which matters, because a suspension does not always come with a letter that reaches you. People move, mail gets missed, and the first time they find out is at a traffic stop.
It is also how you confirm your FR44 filing actually landed. After you buy a policy, your carrier files the FR44 electronically with the DHSMV. Checking your status a few days later is the way to be sure the state has it on record and your license is clear.
And if it comes back suspended and you need the FR44 to fix it, call us. We shop over fifteen carriers and file electronically with the DHSMV the same day you buy the policy.
