41 E., Naples. Applicants should bring a current driver license, or, if you don't have one, bring one form of certified identification and another form of identification. 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. If you haven't had any traffic tickets for three years, only vision tests are required. If you have had tickets, vision and written sign tests are mandatory, and your new license will be good for only four years.
