State law now requires that those under age 18 provide compulsory school attendance records in order to receive a driver license. Records are available from school principals or the school board. Also, new drivers must have attended a substance familiarization course in order to obtain a license. The course is offered by the Southwest Florida Safety Council, with offices in Collier and Lee counties.
Licenses are good for six years, and appointments for renewals can be made by calling the office.
