Not currently. I registered my out of state car just last year & I had to surrender the out of state title. I was given a choice of getting the new title mailed to me, or paying an additional $10 to have the new title produced on the spot. (Sumter County Service Center 7375 Powell Road, corner of 466A). You must give them the old title. As others have mentioned, the car itself has to be handy, as they will verify the VIN.
I had purchased the car for cash three years earlier, & the title never had a lien on it. It was originally issued to me in my name.
If you do have a lien on the car, then you need more documents, ie: a release of lien.
The price to register one out of state car last year was $440.75 I don't know if the price has risen or dropped since then.
You do not give them the old plates, those are yours to dispose of, unless your home state wants them back. You do get to choose the kind of new Florida plate you receive. You get one plate for the back. My old state had back & front plates.
Any other questions, please ask. I tried to remember my questions. Oh, & what others have said it true, you must have current Florida car insurance & you bring the insurance card with you.
