• Initial Registration:If you are registering a motor vehicle in Florida for the first time, you must complete the following steps:
  • Complete a vehicle title/registration form.
  • Visit your local county tax collector's office, and bring the completed title/registration form with you, along with the vehicle safety inspection certification. In addition, you will need to provide proof of insurance, and the odometer reading, if the vehicle is less than 10 years old.
  • For vehicles that have been registered in another state, you must also bring the original, out-of-state title. If the title is unavailable, bring the registration document, along with proof of sales tax payment.
  • You will also need to carry the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) verification for vehicles that do not have a Florida title.
