For auto tag and title services, the agency accepts:

• Cash
• Cashier's checks
• Credit cards

Titles not issued in Florida

• If the current title was issued outside Florida, you must bring the vehicle to the agency for a physical inspection.
• If you cannot bring the vehicle to the agency, the VIN verification can be completed on section 8 of the Florida form by either:
• A Florida Notary Public, or
• A police officer from any jurisdiction.

Electronic titles (E-titles)

• If your title is electronic (E-title), the agency can print it as long as any lien has been released.
• You should confirm with your lienholder that they have released the lien before visiting the agency.

Duplicate titles

• To obtain a duplicate title you must visit the agency with your Driver License or Passport.
• The fee for a duplicate title is $87.25.
• The printed title is normally mailed to you within about two weeks.
• Fast title service is available for duplicate titles with an additional $20 fast title surcharge; in that case the title can be printed at the agency.

Lost title when selling your vehicle (duplicate with transfer)

• If you lost your title and are selling your vehicle to another private person, the agency can process a transfer without the original title if both parties come to the agency in person.
• The transfer fees for this type of transaction are approximately $70 higher than a regular title transfer.

Vessel (boat) titles

• Sales tax on vessels is the same as for cars and motorcycles (7% on the first $5,000, 6% over $5,000).
