And a law passed in 2010 made EVERYONE renewing a FL DL provide all sorts of documents to prove legal residence in the U.S. and legal residence in FL.
You don't need to be a resident of FL to get an FL license.
As a Canadian, if you own or rent property in FL, you are able to get an FL DL.
I went to the SSA, obtained the required letter, and then obtained my FL DL. It is marked in small red letters "temporary" and is valid only for 1 year and must be renewed in person.
