Sounds like Florida (similar to Massachusetts) has that law that says that if you renew on-line once, the next time must be in person.  Make an appointment for the start of your trip to Florida and renew in person.  Good luck.

We are in Orkney and I still haven't gotten my UK driving license sorted...maybe this will be the year. 

Some states also use having your license as an indicator that you should be paying state taxes. 

No one has pointed it out, and you've probably already got it covered,especially if you have the provisional license-  but I will point it out to be sure-   but if you have ILR, you must have been here for more than 1 year-  and are driving around the UK on your US license alone is now illegal...   

and....in most states, if you are NOT legally resident, you CANNOT renew (or obtain) a license; best check before you try to renew

It is also worth noting that it can leave you liable for state taxes (California, for example, uses having a license as one of the criteria to determine whether you need to pay taxes).

Jennie is correct about that. Sever ties to avoid state taxes.

By the way, are you contantly being made out to be crazy for giving up Florida for Scotland? I know I sure am


Yes I do get that "have you lost your mind?" look, more times than not.  we are going on a temporary 3 year contract, so we get to return to the 100* temps (not sure if im looking forward to that or not) haha
