Florida Automobile Registration.* You will need your automobile titles. If you are still buying your car, bring the name and address of the car loan place and the account number. You will have to have proof of Florida car insurance before you can change titles and get tags. I stayed with my original company but they had to write me a new policy and cancel the New Jersey one.

When I got Fla plates for the car we leave here a few years ago:
Title transfer required proof of Fla issued insurance, Fla issued insurance required Fla Drivers License (the carrier would issue the insurance provided you gave them proof of the Fla DL within 90 days).
The title transfer and Fla plates on an older car was around $100; I have read a couple months ago that it is now about $400.
