The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) has announced that all driver鈥檚 license tests will now only be issued in English.
FLHSMV said they are implementing the change statewide and will no longer allow interpreters for any of the oral exams or the printed tests. The change began on February 6 and will apply to all driver license classifications, including oral exams, FLHSMV said.
Previously, knowledge exams for most non-commercial driver license classifications were offered in multiple languages, while commercial learner鈥檚 permit and commercial driver license knowledge exams were only available in English and Spanish. Under the updated policy, all driver鈥檚 license knowledge and skills testing will be conducted in English.
To implement this change, FLHSMV has updated its driver license testing system statewide. Any printed exams in languages other than English will be removed from use.
鈥淔LHSMV remains committed to ensuring safe roadways for all Floridians and visitors by promoting clear communication, understanding of traffic laws, and responsible driving behavior,鈥 the department said in a statement.
