From the FWC website:

Step One: You will be asked to indicate whether or not you are a Florida resident and provide your identification. This will let us know which Florida licenses are available for you to purchase. You will be asked to provide current information about yourself (name, address, birth date, etc.) NOTE: If you wish to purchase a license as a Florida resident you must have a valid Florida Drivers License or must provide a valid Customer ID Number. Customer ID numbers may be obtained by purchasing a license from your local county tax collector office.

It sounds like if you don't have a drivers license, you need to get the license from the county tax collector. Here is the address of the tax collector in Dade County:
Main Office
140 W. Flagler Street, #102
Miami, FL 33130
See Map 305-375-5678
Monday - Friday
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

I seriously doubt FWC will kiss your butt. :roll:

But if he's never had a FL drivers license, then the SS# won't be able to identify him as a Florida resident. Anyone can get a Florida ID card, you don't have to be a resident. I got one when I first moved down here years ago and didn't need to show any proof of residency to get one.

Hate to confuse you with facts but FWC isn't in charge of licenses . Funny I got mine by calling in and giving them my DL number . Took about 15 minutes to do it on the way to the boat. It is tough to find anywhere that does it in person anymore since the business gets no direct revenue from the licensing service.
