A list of suitable identification is available at www.gathergoget.com. DMV to Go representatives do not administer driving exams.

MDX will provide all attendees with free SunPass-minis for all vehicles in their household. In addition to providing a free SunPass-mini, MDX will inform residents about the SunPass Tag Swap Program. Those interested in opening a new SunPass account and activating their new SunPass-minis during the event will need a credit or debit card ($10 minimum is required to activate) and provide their email, name, address and phone number, as well as the vehicle license plate number, make, model, year and color.
