Motor Vehicles / Mobile Homes
Moving to Florida?


If you are moving to Florida and going to be a resident, then you must apply for a Florida title and/or license plate. You must also get a Florida title and/or license plate if you enroll your children in public school, register to vote, file for homestead exemption or accept employment.

You need to visit one of our branch locations to make application for Florida title and apply for Florida license plates. Florida Statutes require that the vehicle identification number (VIN) on motor vehicles be verified by one of the following:

  • A law enforcement officer from any state
  • A licensed motor vehicle dealer from Florida
  • A Florida county tax collector employee or Florida Division of Motor Vehicle Compliance Examiner
  • Provost Marshal or commissioned officer in active military service, with a rank of 2nd lieutenant or higher
  • A Florida Notary

In order to have a Florida license plate on your vehicle, you must have proof of Florida insurance. An out of state title must be submitted as proof of ownership. An application for Florida title must be completed and accompanied by the VIN verification and odometer reading on form, HSMV82040. If all owners of the vehicle come in, and if the vehicle being titled is driven to any of our branch locations, we will verify the VIN and complete your application electronically. Proof of sales tax may be required. If your title is held by a lending institution, please bring the name, address, and account number for the lienholder.

If your vehicle is leased, we would recommend that you call our Customer Information Center at (352) 343-9602 to obtain information on how best to serve your specific needs.
