Miami-Dade Mechanic License Renewal Checklist

A tidy desk arranged for reviewing training and renewal records — Make a little space for the next step.

Check the renewal you actually need.

Find your current permit number and expiration information. Confirm whether you are renewing for one year or two, and whether your permit type or employment information has changed. The county application lists 16 continuing-education hours for a one-year renewal and 32 for two years.

Keep the education step and the county application step in your plan. Course completion gives you a supporting record; you still need to follow the county’s renewal process.

A checklist you can use right now.

Check items as you prepare them. This is a planning aid; completing it does not submit an application.

Use the county’s online renewal route.

Miami-Dade lists online, in-person and mail options for individual license renewals. For online renewal, the county instructs applicants to register with the email address already held in their Consumer Protection record.

If you have a portal account but the relevant license is not linked to it, follow the support instructions on the county licensing page. Avoid creating a new or unrelated record simply because your license is not visible.

Open county online portal Read county renewal instructions

Prepare files before you submit.

Use legible documents with the complete page visible. Check your legal name, permit number, course hours and completion information. Keep the files easy to recognize so that you can identify the correct record when uploading.

The county form provides a document checklist and an online submission option. Review the current instructions for signatures, supporting records and fees. A course price and a county permit fee pay for different things; budget for each applicable charge.

Keep a record of the next step.

Save the county submission confirmation, payment receipt and copies of what you submitted. Check the account or communication channel used for your application for requests for additional information.

When the county renews your permit, check the details on that renewed record. A saved course certificate or checked-off planning list does not establish that the county renewal has been issued.

Understand your course certificate
