Mover licenses in
Florida
Florida licenses or registers movers working inside the state statewide.
Get a written estimate, confirm the company name matches the paperwork, and ask how it covers loss or damage. Your state's consumer protection office can tell you what applies. Find your state's office (opens official site).
Ask the licensing office directly: Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Moving Services (opens official site).
Moving to another state?
Interstate movers are registered with the federal government, not the state. Search the company in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's mover database, which also shows complaint history.
