DBPR Discounts Renewal Fee for Disabled Veterans

Florida supports active military and veterans by reducing costs and fees. By reducing fees, military members and veterans can stay in work easier.

In particular, the Florida Statute (F.S). Ch. 205.171 allows disabled veterans to claim a $50 discount toward their state license fee. If you qualify for this discount, please send the DBPR a copy of your DD-214 form indicating that you are a disabled veteran. You may send that document with your next license renewal form, or you can send the document with a letter stating that you want to receive the discount to use, Licenses, Etc.

Please mail the form to:
