PUBLIC OFFICIAL, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY PERSONNEL AND OTHERS
REQUEST TO WITHHOLD PERSONAL INFORMATION
PURSUANT TO SECTION 119.071, FLORIDA STATUTES
This request form and corresponding privacy protection applies to current and former sworn or civilian law
enforcement personnel, public officials (active or former), servicemembers (active or former after 09/11/2001) and
other identified individuals, their spouses, children or dependents, who are eligible as outlined in Section 119.071,
Florida Statutes.
Those who are eligible can request that the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV)
withhold personal information contained in their driver/identification, vehicle/vessel records maintained by this
department. FLHSMV maintains both a residential address and mailing address for each individual. This privacy
protection applies only to the residential address but not the mailing address. If you do not provide FLHSMV
with a separate mailing address, your residential address will be listed as your mailing address. Mailing
addresses are routinely released for official business regarding motor vehicle or driver license information.
Therefore, if you wish to ensure your residential address is blocked and not displayed on your driver
license/identification card, you may make an appointment with your local driver license issuance office to
provide a separate mailing address and obtain a replacement driver license/identification card.
Please PRINT the personal information requested below. The information required to complete this form is located
on the Florida driver license or identification card of the requester. In all cases, the date of birth must match the date
of birth on the Florida driver license or identification card record. Complete additional forms or attach additional sheet
as needed to include eligible family members. We must have a statement of eligibility and documentation that
indicates the eligibility.
Please return your request with documentation indicating your eligibility to: Florida Department of Highway
Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), 2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 28, Tallahassee, Florida 32399 or email
to: PublicOfficialBlock@flhsmv.gov
Please indicate statutory basis for exemption. See Page 3: _________________________________
