So, I am thinking of changing my 2 cars plates, titles and registrations from NY to FL as well as my NY driver's license. I read FL DMV requirement for Passport and etc.. Does that requirements apply to people already have NY license, Registration, Title and plates?
For those who have been thru this, please tell me it will be less :-)

Cheers!

Not from NY but we had our MD RealID licenses. FL DMV still wanted our passports and other documentation a year ago when we changed ours.

It's little consolation but the vehicle inspection here is *much* nicer than in NY.

OP, you can call the DMV in Pinellas Plaza and get the current requirements.

Agree. (They do not require a passport.)

The Sumter county tax collector site has the info

There aint no vehicle inspection in Florida, shocked and very surprised to learn that upon moving here last year.

There is the VIN check but that is trivial and much better than the NY inspection. I haven't lived in NY in 30+ years but I still remember the hassle of those inspections.

The places I went to did a good job inspecting my cars making sure it was safe to run.

If brakes or tires needed replacement had no choice but to replace.

In Florida what is to stop people from riding on bald tires?

Ten years ago, it was $400.00 a car, $100.00 for a drivers license. We spent $1,000 in one day for two drivers license and transferring two cars.

Nails, screws and other materials, hydroplaning. It’s just irresponsible to take the risk no matter where one lives

FUN FACT:

Do Mandatory Vehicle Inspections Really Make Us Safer? - The American Consumer Institute

Across the pond they charge MORE to register older vehicles in an effort to keep emissions lower and new tech on the road which is standard on newer vehicles.

My wife and I moved from Rochester in September. For two cars two licenses a small trailer and a pop-up camper that costs us about $1,400. And that's a 2008 vehicle into 2015 vehicle and no loans on either.

Admittedly that was about $800 higher than I expected but I didn't look into it too closely nor did I care too much. Thankfully we had the money saved. It's the cost of the auto insurance that really almost offsets the property taxes in our case.

However we are so grateful to be here in Florida.
