Good to know: Governing body is the Barbers' Board under Florida DBPR. Active license renewal fee shown as $75 on the official barbers page; the board's FAQ separately lists $70 (likely reflecting an older or inactive-status amount), so a minor fee discrepancy exists between official DBPR pages. A $25 delinquent fee appears in third-party sources but could not be confirmed on the official pages fetched, so late_fee_usd is left null. Florida uses license statuses 'Delinquent' (one missed renewal) and 'Null and Void' (two or more missed) rather than 'expired.' Renewal is handled through the DBPR online services portal (myfloridalicense.com) or by mail.
