I know you are required to get FL insurance and have the title and all that. No problem there.

I also know you are required to get a Vin Inspection. The FLHSMV lists a couple places to get it, but I'd like to know what other people have used and have they done it recently? The Pandemic has changed a lot of procedures.(like getting appts at the DMV in your own county only).

Some folks said the inspector at the registration place just walked out and looked. If that's the case, great. Just trying to make sure I do it right.
I did this last week. I downloaded the form and had a police officer in Maryland sign the odometer and VIN number. Totally free - That's it - you don't need to bring the vehicle to Florida either.
