Today we are happy to announce the implementation of the Hope Card Program in the Clerk of the Circuit Court Offices statewide.

This new program offers individuals who have been issued a final injunction for protection the opportunity to apply for a free, standardized Hope Card that can be used to verify with law enforcement that a protective court order covers them.

For further information on the Hope Card please visit: www.FLClerks.com/HopeCardProgram.

During the 2024 session, the Florida Legislature passed CS/CS/CS/SB 86 - Hope Cards for Persons Issued Orders of Protection, which requires Clerks of Court to develop and implement a Hope Card Program in Florida.
