Florida Vehicle Title Search
How to run a Florida vehicle title search
A Florida vehicle title search is a simple process that will require you to have the 17 digit VIN, or vehicle identification number. A Florida vehicle title lookup will let you know if the vehicle has a clean title, if there are lien holders on the vehicle, if the vehicle has ever been in a major accident and the title was salvaged. Running a Florida vehicle title search is a “Best Practice” procedure before purchasing any used vehicle. Most of the vehicle title information you’ll need will also be in a vehicle history report which suffices for a title search as well as giving you valuable information about that used vehicle you are interested in buying. You can also find out how many owners that vehicle had and any known safety concerns or vehicle recalls.
Is this Florida vehicle title clean?
Finding out if that Florida vehicle has a clean title is very important when looking to buy a used vehicle. Finding out if a vehicle still has a lien on it from an unpaid loan, or a salvaged title because it was in a major accident can a deal breaker. Without running a Florida vehicle title search these issues might not be obvious or revealed by the previous owner. A vehicle title search, or a vehicle history report, will tell you most everything you need to know about that used car before making taking ownership. Most of the time it’s up to the buyer to do their homework and learn about the vehicle’s history for themselves. Once finalizing the purchase of a used vehicle, especially if the condition is listed “As-Is“, then there is no real recourse unless there was fraud. By performing a simple vehicle history report you can find out all this important information, about the condition of the vehicle as well as the title information, before making your used car purchase and insuring that you are getting a good value for your money.
How do I get my Florida vehicle title?
If your vehicle is paid off and you don’t owe anything on your vehicle loan and their are no lien holders on the vehicle title, you should have access to your vehicle title. If for some reason you did not receive your Florida motor vehicle title, or you need a duplicate vehicle title, you can contact the Florida Highway Safety Motor Vehicle Department to get your title. You can visit their website and download and mail in the forms to obtain a duplicate vehicle title or you can visit a branch in person, which will expedite the process. You will need to provide your Florida driver’s license and pay a nominal fee, then your new title will be mailed to you on the address listed on the existing vehicle title. If you have never received your Florida vehicle title in the first place then you might want to visit an FLHSMV office in person so that there is no confusion on where to send the title and to verify all the correct information is listed on your Florida motor vehicle title.

THE TITLE FROM MY PARK MODEL HOME WAS LOST IN A FIRE.I WOULD LIKE TO APPLY FOR A DUPLICATE. I ONLY HAVE THE REGISTRATION PLATE ASSIGNED TO THE UNIT
To Whom It May Concern at the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles:
I bought my 1967 Austin Healy 3000 (AH 3000) car back in 1982. That same year my car was stolen. Of course, I do not have my title today from 39 years ago. Having moved multiple of times in boxes, etc., I have misplaced my AH 3000 title. Now a days, I see AU 3000s being sold privately and on Ebay. Recently, I saw one AH 3000 which looks just like mine. I was wondering how I could get my title/VIN for my 1967 AH 3000 car from the Florida DMV registry. The 1982 VIN numbers for these 1980s AH 3000s are not as long as the new VIN numbers (~11 numbers). Lastly, the last time that I contacted you a few years ago, you informed that you had transferred from microfilm to an electronic format only older car titles/VIN numbers down to the early 1990s. You informed that prior to the early 1990s, you had not transferred the titles with VINs from microfilm to a searchable electronic format. I have several questions to ask you: 1) have you gone further back than the 1990s on your microfilm-to-electronic format transferring process, 2) can you get my AH 3000 title and VIN number from the 1982 Florida DMV car registry, my name, and my Florida address, 3) if you do not have Florida DMV registries going back to the early 1980s yet, do you have someone or know of some company that will do this?, 4) if you do not, may I come into your Florida DMV office in person and look up my 1982 AH 3000 title/VIN?, and 5) do I have to go to State of Florida DMV in Tallahassee to do this or may I look this up at any of your State of Florida DMV offices?
Thank you for your time and considerations in this personal request.
