New Resident Guide

Ice Cream Social this week:
Chateau Village in Bradenton, March 11 at 1:00 p.m.

Welcome to Florida!!
     Following are guides to key steps new Floridians need to complete.  These are offered by the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles (posted on their website).
Just moved to Florida and need to get a driver license? Here's what to do:
If you have an out-of-state license, and it has not expired beyond 30 days, you may be able to convert your license without taking a written or road test. You will need to have a vision screening.  Call your local driver license office and schedule an appointment.
    
Register Your Out of State Car:
     You have just 10 days to register your out of state car in Florida.

You Have 30 Days:
     Florida law requires that you get a Florida drivers license within 30 days of becoming a resident of Florida. You are a resident if you do one of the following:
    - Enroll your children in a Florida public school
    - Accept employment
    - Register to Vote
    - File for a homestead exemption
    - Reside in Florida for more than six consecutive months

Helpful Hints about packing:
    • Packed boxes should weigh less than 50 pounds.
    • Pack heavier items on the bottom.
    • Stuff socks, scarves, pillow cases and other small fabric items
           in holes and crevices in boxes - just make sure you keep pairs
           of socks together!
    • Make sure all boxes can close properly and be sealed so the tops
           are flat. If you over-pack a box, you risk damage to the contents.
