According to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission:
What qualifies as Florida residency?
Residency
For the purposes of fishing or hunting in Florida, a resident is defined as:
Any person who has declared Florida as his or her only state of residence as evidenced by a valid Florida driver license or identification card with both a Florida address and a Florida residency verified by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).
Active duty United States military personnel stationed in Florida, including spouses and dependent children residing in the household, with military orders.
Acceptable Proofs of Florida Residency:
Primary proof:
Florida Driver License or ID Card (with Florida address and residency verified by the Florida DHSMV)
Florida Military Orders (active-duty United States military personnel and their immediate family members also stationed here)
Alternate proof (may be used only by Florida residents who do not have a Florida Driver License or ID Card):
Current Florida voter registration information card
Declaration of domicile (may be obtained from county clerk’s office)
Florida homestead exemption
NOTE: Landlord certification is no longer accepted as an alternate proof of residency.
