Services
Licensing in Florida
Florida does not require a state-issued locksmith license, so no license number applies here — Koala Locksmith operates under standard Florida business registration only, same as every other FL locksmith.
What Florida law actually says
Florida does not require a state-issued locksmith license for businesses or technicians — there is no state licensing board, exam, or registration for locksmith work. A 2025 bill (HB 1311) that would have created one died in committee, and a separate 2025 state law actually eliminated the county-level locksmith licenses that used to exist (e.g. Miami-Dade, Hillsborough). Locksmiths only need standard business registration.
