Did you know people are selling free DMV appointments for up to $250!?!?

Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez has vowed to stop the practice, targeting driving schools suspected of booking appointments under fake names and selling them. In just three weeks, his office identified 200 fraudulent bookings at a newly opened downtown DMV office.

Scalpers reportedly use bots and fake accounts to manipulate the online system, leaving regular residents struggling to secure slots. While the practice isn’t currently illegal, Fernandez is pushing for legislative changes. County Commissioner Kevin Cabrera has already proposed fines of up to $500 for those caught selling appointments.

With Miami-Dade set to take over DMV services from the state, officials promise reforms to ensure fair access for all.
