How to Search for a FL DMV Tag

Searching for a FL DMV tag can be a straightforward process if you know what documents and information are required. As a leading title service provider, our office is here to guide you through the process.

Fast Title Service Available

We offer a fast title service at an additional fee of $10.00, which allows us to print your title immediately, as long as there are no liens on the vehicle or vessel. If you need to transfer a title by mail, we also provide this service.

Required Documents and Information

To transfer ownership of a motor vehicle or mobile home titled in Florida, our office requires the following documents:

* A completed 'Transfer of Title by Seller' section of the title

* Proof of Florida insurance with the company name, policy number, and 5-digit insurance company code

* Photo identification such as a driver's license, identification card, or passport for the purchaser(s) and/or their power of attorney

* Original or certified Power of Attorney form (82053)

* Disposed of affidavit signed if transferring a current license plate

* Previous registration or vehicle information such as license plate or decal number

* Sales tax will be collected on the purchase price of the vehicle as stated on the title

Additional Requirements

If you are recording a lien, our office will need the following information:

* Lien holder's name

* Federal Employer's Identification number

* Address

* Date of lien

In addition, if the lien holder is an individual, we will also need their driver's license number and date of birth.

VIN Verification

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be verified by any law enforcement officer, a Florida notary public, or a Florida motor vehicle dealer. However, all used vehicles coming into Florida from a foreign country must have the VIN verified by a DMV Compliance Examiner/Inspector. Our office performs this service as a courtesy at the time of registration (weather permitting).

Additional Tips

All motor vehicles being registered in Florida for the first time must have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verified using Form 82042.
