A duplicate title requested online or through the mail will be processed within 6 business days, and you should receive your title in 2-4 weeks. If you need your title immediately, please schedule an appointment at one of our offices.
An electronic title record is stored in FLHSMV's database until a paper title is requested for the purposes of selling a vehicle or transferring title to another state or country.
When an electronic lien is satisfied, a lien satisfaction will be sent electronically to FLHSMV. The title will then remain electronic until a request for paper title is received. Owners with e-titles can request a paper title through the FLHSMV's MyDMV Portal website.
When seeking to register a vehicle that was previously titled out-of-state, you must complete an Application For Certificate Of Title - HSMV 82040, which may be obtained and completed prior to visiting the tax collector's office.
