Florida Vehicle Title Guide & FAQs

Florida title rules are simple once you know the quirks. This guide walks you through exactly where to sign, what mistakes can slow things down, and how to handle title issues before and after the sale.

Florida Title Transfer

Selling a car in Florida isn’t complicated, but the title does need to be handled correctly. Once you know where to sign and what’s required, the process is quick and straightforward.

A Florida title transfer is completed by properly signing the vehicle title and submitting the required information to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Where Do I Sign a Florida Title?

Florida titles are a little different than some other states, so placement matters. The seller signs on the front of the title, not the back.

  • Sign in the lower left corner where it states “Signature of Seller.”
  • Print your name where it states “Printed Name of Seller.”
  • Use blue or black ink and sign exactly as your name appears on the title.

Signing in the wrong area or making corrections can delay the transfer or require a duplicate title.


Can I Sell a Car in Florida Without a Title?

No. Florida requires a valid vehicle title to sell or transfer ownership of a car.

If your title is lost, stolen, or damaged, a duplicate title must be obtained from the Florida DMV before the sale can be completed.
