We went to the Wildwood location yesterday that's in the same complex as the new Library on 466a. We were able to convert our licenses from NY to FL, change the registrations of our two cars and vote to register all at the same time and with one payment.

The cost for everything was more than one thousand dollars. We were going to use our credit card, but decided to use a check when the rep, who was really great, told us it would cost extra. I was supervising DMV issuing reps like him previously, and I would have loved to have an employee like he was back then; he told us the cost for using the CC was slightly under 3%. At about 3% you're talking about enough money, especially when your bill is over $1000, to decide that it's wiser and just as easy use a check if you have it with you.

We were also able to pickup our homestead applications (Sumter Co. only) while we were there!
