Did you just move to Florida? You only have 30 days to transfer your car title. If you don’t do it in time, you could get fined or even have your car towed.
But don’t worry. It’s not as complicated as it sounds.
And if you come to Broward Auto Tags, we’ll help you get it done in one visit.
Why You Need to Transfer
When you move to Florida, the law says you must transfer your car title. This helps the state know who owns the car. It also lets you get Florida plates, which you’ll need to drive legally here.
If you skip this step, you might get pulled over and end up paying extra money. And sometimes, it might even become a legal case.
What to Bring With You
Now that you have decided to get this done, here are the documents you’ll need to transfer your title:
- Your out-of-state title (the real one, not a copy)
- A Florida ID or driver’s license
- Proof of Florida insurance
- A filled-out title form (we have it here if you need one)
- A paper showing that your VIN was checked
- A lien release, if you paid off a car loan
We’ll look over everything to make sure it’s right. That way, you don’t waste time or have to come back again.
What is VIN Verification?
Every car has a special number called a VIN. Florida wants to ensure that the number matches both your vehicle and your paperwork.
Some people go to a police officer or notary for this. But you don’t have to. At East Broward Auto Tags, we can check your VIN right here, and the process will take only a few minutes.
How Much Does It Cost
Here’s what you might pay:
- Title fee: around $75.25
- First-time registration fee: $225
- Sales tax: 6% of the value of your car, minus what you paid in your old state
- Small service fee (for our help and fast service)
We’ll tell you the exact amount after we check your paperwork. No surprise charges.
What to Expect When You Visit

- Walk in with your documents
- We check your VIN
