Required owner signatures must be provided. Contact us before visiting about an acceptable power of attorney and any secure odometer-document requirements.

Call before you travel. A lender-held title, lease, military exemption, foreign import, or special ownership record can require additional documents or a different process.

The recorded owner or eligible lienholder may apply for a duplicate Florida title using HSMV 82101. Bring accepted identification and any required lien-release or representative documents. Contact the issuing state for a title issued outside Florida.

An electronic title is stored in the state system. Owners with no lien may request a paper title through FLHSMV’s online services or ask our office about available issuance options and fees.

Contact our office before the sale to arrange the appropriate reassignment process. FLHSMV provides an in-person secure reassignment option for the seller and buyer; review the state’s private-sale instructions.

Bring the original title with the buyer and seller reassignment completed, the current vessel-title application, accepted identification, and purchase records. Provide proof of tax paid or an applicable exemption, or pay the tax due.

Bring the original out-of-state title when one was issued. If the prior state does not title the vessel, bring the latest original registration and the required bill of sale. Contact us about incomplete hull identification numbers or missing ownership records before visiting.

A new boat may require the manufacturer’s statement of origin and dealer paperwork. Homemade boats and federally documented vessels follow different requirements; call our office to review your documents.

A Florida title is not required, but registration is generally required for road use. Bring the prior registration and complete ownership-transfer paperwork or bill of sale. Out-of-state trailers may need additional ownership records and a certified weight slip when the weight is not documented.

Bring the title properly assigned to the new owner, registration and purchase records, and required application documents. Out-of-state trailers may also require VIN verification. New trailers use the manufacturer’s certificate of origin.

Call before traveling. Weight certification, construction records, inspection, or other proof may be needed depending on the trailer’s weight and history.

A gift still requires an ownership transfer. For a motor-vehicle gift between individuals, a sales-tax exemption may apply when no payment or other consideration is exchanged and the recipient assumes no outstanding lien. Supporting statements are required; family relationship alone does not establish the exemption.

Call us with the title information before visiting. Required documents depend on the listed owners, surviving spouse or heirs, and whether an estate is being administered. We can explain which application and supporting records apply.

A Florida dealership is responsible for processing the title application for a vehicle it sells. For a new vehicle purchased from an out-of-state dealer, have the original manufacturer’s certificate of origin, dealer invoice, odometer statement, lien details, and required application and registration documents ready. Ask about any additional tax due.

These transactions may require additional authority, ownership, inspection, or correction documents. Contact our office before signing new paperwork or making changes to an existing title.

Charges depend on the title, plate or registration, sales tax, liens, and any applicable exemptions. Expedited title issuance may carry an additional fee. Call to confirm your total, payment options, and title-issuance availability.

Review FLHSMV’s instructions for completing the title, removing your license plate, and filing the required notice of sale. Keep copies of your transaction documents.
