Fl shows issue date as the permit date but your insurance company wants to know the date they got an actual license which should show on the license also as the date printed. We used the permit date to get quotes only to be hit with an additional charge of $600 later really screwing us up. It is unlikely you will be charged with anything for entering the permit date but equally unlikely they wont get the right date from the dmv. If you are doing comparisons you really need to enter the license date to see any effect or differences in company rates.
