For your information. 
 

Note: If you use a computer and have not yet renewed your identification card or driver's license (if you still drive), you are entitled to a one-time renewal online. At the present time, ID cards cost $25, with an additional $2 convenience fee if renewed online. It takes up to 10 days to receive the new card in the mail, although mine arrived within five days. You can access the online renewal site through the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles by visiting FLHSMV.gov.

Reminder: You must have a 'REAL ID,' or gold star on your license, to fly by October 2020 Posted Oct 02 2019 04:58AM EDT Updated Oct 02 2019 07:09AM EDT TAMPA, Fla.

. Basically, you will need to have a little gold star in the upper right-hand corner of your driver's license, or else you won't be able to travel through airports. 
Earlier this year, Transportation Security Administration officials announcedthat beginning on October 1, 2020, every air traveler who is 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States.

Travelers can sign up for REAL ID licenses at their state driver's license agency, or visit mobile enrollment stations at some airports. Florida began issuing REAL ID compliant credentials after January 1, 2010.

The goal of the program is to help prevent terrorist attacks and reduce the number of licenses issued to undocumented immigrants.

Officials estimated nearly 80,000 people could be turned away from their flights on October 1, 2020.

With less than one year to the deadline, officials are urging people to get those updated licenses sooner than later.
