just did this last week - titled car in Florida and got plate (temporary, that is) and got Florida drivers' licenses. You can do it all now at the same place - the Sumter County annex (with the gold dome) on 466A. Go to the website. Not sure if you can go there if you are not in Sumter County - the website might say.
We have valid passports and my married (and divorced) name was on it - didn't need to show divorce decree or marriage license. I had my social security card, but Ohioboy's was still in Ohio in his safe deposit box. He was able to use a W-2 form (and there were several other acceptable choices).
The website is very clear. And the charge for one car - title and plates - was right around $400. The drivers' licenses were about $110 more (2 of them, valid for 8 or 9 years in our case - I think it depends on your age as over 80 I think you have to take a drivers' test every so often. Renewal fee for your car every year depends on the weight of your car.
You must have Florida drivers' licenses to apply for the homestead exemption, so get those first. We had to apply for the homestead exemption at the Sumter County Sheriff annex at Morse and 466.
