Authorities say 63 people fraudulently obtained driver's licenses.

GREENACRES — Two more arrests in the past two weeks has brought to 30 the total of people charged with fraudulently obtaining driver's licenses at the Lake Worth-area satellite office of the Palm Beach County Tax Collector without ever taking driving tests, or in some cases, any tests.

The Florida Highway Patrol has said at least 63 people improperly obtained licenses.

Norman Giddings, who worked at the office, died in February 2018, just days before he was to be criminally charged, according to Palm Beach County Tax Collector Anne Gannon. Her office has been authorized to issue driver's licenses since about 2012.

The FHP reports do not say if investigators believe Giddings was paid for his role in the operation, except for three incidents in which people said in reports that they paid him $20, $400 and $450, respectively. The satellite office is on Military Trail in Greenacres.

Gannon has said for people who are undocumented, or otherwise ineligible, a fraudulently obtained driver's license is significant; people now have a government-issued identification card, which opens the door to other documents they can obtain.

Of the 30 arrested so far, all were residents of Palm Beach County except for three: one woman from Stuart, one from Broward County and one from Miami Beach.

The two new arrestees, along with their current age, hometown, date of arrest, and date of allegedly fraudulently obtaining a driver's license:

— Elsa Noemi Gomez, 24, Lake Worth. Arrested May 8. Obtained license Nov. 6, 2017.

— Nailet Martinez Chi, 38, suburban Greenacres. Arrested May 10. Obtained license Nov. 27, 2017.
