What the Pompano Beach DMV Office Handles

The Pompano Beach DMV office is a Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles location that handles driver license and vehicle registration services for Broward County residents. You can renew or replace a driver license, register a vehicle, get a duplicate title, or handle address changes there. The office does not process commercial driver license (CDL) testing or issue new licenses to first-time drivers — those require a visit to a full-service office or a separate testing facility.

Pompano Beach is one of several DMV locations in Broward County. If you live closer to Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, or another part of the county, you may find a different office more convenient. Each location handles the same core services, so your choice depends mainly on location and wait times.

Key Takeaways

  • The Pompano Beach DMV office handles driver license renewals and replacements, vehicle registration, and title services, but not CDL testing or first-time license issuance.
  • You can check real-time wait times and book an appointment online through the Florida DMV website before you go.
  • Bring your current ID, proof of residency, and any documents related to the transaction you need (such as a vehicle title or insurance card).
  • The office is open Monday through Friday during standard business hours, and Saturday hours vary by season.
  • Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments typically move faster and reduce time spent waiting.

How to Find the Pompano Beach Office Location and Hours

The Pompano Beach DMV office is located at 1350 South Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, FL 33062. You can confirm the exact address and current hours on the Florida DMV website (flhsmv.gov) by searching for "Pompano Beach" in their office locator tool. Hours change seasonally and occasionally for holidays, so checking online before you go prevents a wasted trip.

The office is typically open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with Saturday hours that vary. Some Saturdays the office opens; others it does not. The DMV website shows which Saturdays are staffed. If you need to handle your transaction outside standard weekday hours, check the locator first.

Real-time wait times are posted on the Florida DMV website. You can see how many people are ahead of you before you leave home, which helps you decide whether to go now or return later. Wait times tend to be shorter early in the morning and mid-week.

Making an Appointment vs. Walking In

Florida DMV allows you to book an appointment online through the flhsmv.gov website. Appointments typically move through the queue faster than walk-ins, though you may still wait 15 to 30 minutes depending on how busy the office is that day. If you book an appointment, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so staff can check you in.

Walk-ins are accepted at the Pompano Beach office, but you will wait longer during peak hours (late morning and early afternoon). If you walk in, take a number from the kiosk when you arrive and monitor the digital display to know when your number is called. The wait can range from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the day and time.

Booking an appointment costs nothing and takes five minutes online. If your plans change, you can cancel or reschedule through the same website. This is the fastest way to handle your transaction if you know when you will need to go.

Documents You Need to Bring

What you bring depends on which service you need. For a driver license renewal, bring your current Florida driver license (or expired license if yours has lapsed), proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or mortgage statement dated within 90 days), and your Social Security number. If you are renewing by mail or online, you do not need to visit the office — check flhsmv.gov to see if you are may be able to access.

For a vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and your vehicle identification number (VIN). If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Florida, bring the title, bill of sale, proof of insurance, and proof of residency. Bring your ID as well.

For a title replacement or address change, bring your current title (if you have it), proof of residency, and your ID. If the title is lost, the office can issue a duplicate. Bring whatever documents you have that show you own the vehicle — a bill of sale, insurance card, or registration card all help.

Bring originals, not copies, unless the DMV specifically asks for a copy. Staff will make copies if needed. If a document is not in English, bring a certified translation along with the original.

What Transactions Cost and Payment Methods

Driver license renewal costs vary based on how long you want the license to be valid. A standard renewal is typically $48 for an eight-year license. A replacement license (if yours is lost, stolen, or damaged) costs around $25. Vehicle registration renewal costs depend on your vehicle's weight and type; the DMV will calculate the exact fee based on your vehicle information.

The Pompano Beach office accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards. Some transactions may be cheaper if you renew online or by mail instead of in person — the DMV website shows which services offer discounts for remote renewal. Check before you go if cost is a concern.

Fees can change, and some discounts explore only to certain groups (seniors, disabled drivers, military). Ask staff about any discounts you might may have access to for when you arrive.

Common Scams and Safety Information

Scam alert: Do not use third-party websites that claim to renew your license or registration "faster" or "without visiting the DMV." These sites charge extra fees and often do not actually submit your paperwork to the state. The only official way to renew is through flhsmv.gov, by mail, or in person at a DMV office. There is no shortcut.

Do not give your personal information (Social Security number, driver license number, or financial details) to anyone who calls you claiming to be from the DMV. The real DMV does not call or email unsolicited. If someone contacts you about your license or registration, hang up and call the DMV directly at 1-844-DMV-FLORIDA (1-844-368-3567) to verify.

Beware of parking lot "helpers" who offer to fill out your forms or guide you through the process for a fee. The DMV staff inside will help you for free. Do not hand your documents to anyone outside the office.

If you are renewing online, make sure you are on flhsmv.gov (check the URL in your browser). Fake DMV websites look similar but have slightly different addresses. Bookmark the real site or call the DMV to get the correct link.

What to Do If You Cannot Visit in Person

Many driver license renewals can be handled by mail or online without visiting the office. You are may be able to access for mail or online renewal if your license is not suspended, you have no medical restrictions, and you are renewing before it expires (or within a short grace period after expiration). Check flhsmv.gov to see if your renewal qualifies.

Vehicle registration can also be renewed online or by mail in most cases. You will need your current registration card and proof of insurance. The DMV website walks you through the process and tells you whether your vehicle qualifies for remote renewal.

If you need a new license (not a renewal) or have a suspended license, you must visit the office in person. The Pompano Beach location can handle these transactions. If you have a medical condition that affects your driving, you may need to visit a full-service DMV office instead — call ahead to confirm.
