The Division of Workers' Compensation offers an online system for applicants to apply for or renew a Certificate of Election to be Exempt from Florida's Workers' Compensation Law, modify an exemption application, or print their certificate.
If at any time you need assistance with the DWC Notice of Election to be Exempt system, you may contact the Division's Customer Service Unit at (850) 413-1609 or email at wc_exemption@myfloridacfo.com.
A VALID state driver’s license is required to obtain or renew a Certificate of Election to be Exempt. A driver license is considered valid provided it has not been expired for more than 30 days at the time of submission of the exemption application. If an application is returned for any reason, the original exemption application submission date will apply when determining if a license is valid.
