Florida Immigration Laws

Florida prohibits sanctuary city policies statewide and requires full cooperation with federal immigration enforcement (ICE). Local governments cannot provide funds for organizations issuing identification documents to undocumented persons.

Employers with 25 or more employees must use the E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility. Non-compliance can result in license suspension or revocation.

Florida does not issue driver's licenses or ID cards to undocumented residents and does not recognize driver's licenses issued by other states to undocumented persons.

Federal labor laws including minimum wage, overtime, and workplace safety protections apply to all workers regardless of immigration status. Florida's state minimum wage also applies to all workers.

In-state tuition waivers for undocumented students were repealed during Florida's 2025 legislative special session. This benefit is no longer available.
