Also NOTE: Florida insurance rates are typically higher than that of Northern states (assuming you came from the North).

If you do this (and it's very simple and quick), the registration folks will require proof of Florida insurance AND they do go out to your car and check your vehicle's VIN Number and milage.... NOTE: Florida has NO vehicle inspections whatsoever.
If they are from a northern state chances are they have an annual inspection process to go through. If they don’t register in FL. they would need to do a yearly trek north to get it inspected.
