| 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.
