Title

You might need a paper title for the purposes of selling a vehicle or transferring title to another state or country. However, if all liens on your vehicle have been satisfied, an electronic title can be converted into paper format in one of four ways: 

  1. Online from our office - have your electronic title converted to paper and pick it up in any Service Center
  2. Online from the FLHSMV - have your electronic title converted to paper and mailed to an address you designate
  3. By mail 
  4. In-person at any Service Center, an appointment is required for North Port

When you bring a vehicle into Florida, purchase a new vehicle, or purchase a vehicle from an individual, you must apply for a registration and title in your name. Click the link below for specific information related to each transaction.
