I brought these forms along with proof of Florida car insurance, my driver license, car title, and NJ registration. The whole process didn't take but 15 minutes. I was given a FL registration and plate and I should receive the title in about 2 weeks.
Last fall, about this time, I bought a new for me (used car) in Cincinnati and I lived in Kentucky. Kentucky has a very high property tax that you pay every year that your car is re-registered. For that reason I decided to bring it down here. We actually brought it here on a 30 day tag from Ohio.

It took about 20 minutes total to get the Florida registration and the title was mailed 2 weeks later. You must have Florida Insurance. We have Kentucky drivers license, no problem. Other that that nothing else unusual.

I know the poster is asking about Canada. I guess it could be different so a quick call to the court house would clear that up. But call the court house on Powell road they deal with this all the time.
