1. 1

   Choose application and vehicle type

   At the top of HSMV 82040, check ORIGINAL or TRANSFER, then MOTOR VEHICLE, MOBILE HOME, VESSEL or OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE (ATV, ROV, MC). Check the box in Section 1 if you want the certificate of title printed.

2. 2

   Enter owner and co-owner details

   In Section 1, answer the Florida resident and alien questions and enter each name as it appears on the driver license, email, date of birth, sex and FL driver license or FEID/Suffix #. For joint ownership check OR or AND; if neither is checked, the title is issued with "and."

3. 3

   Add mailing and physical addresses

   Enter the mailing address and the Florida physical street address, which are mandatory unless you are a member of the Military. Add a mobile home address or a Mail To Customer if different.

4. 4

   Describe the vehicle or vessel

   In Section 2, enter the VIN, make, year, body, color, Florida title number, previous state of issue, plate or registration number and weight. For a vessel, mark type, hull material, propulsion, fuel and use, plus the draft where the form asks for it.

5. 5

   Mark brands and lienholder information

   In Section 3, check any brand or usage that applies, such as REBUILT or KIT CAR. In Section 4, enter each lienholder's name, lien date, address and identifying number; a lienholder representative countersigns to send the title to the owner.

   Complete transfer type and odometer

   In Section 5, check SALE, GIFT, REPOSSESSION, COURT ORDER or OTHER and enter the date acquired. In Section 6, enter the 5 or 6 digit odometer reading with no tenths, the date read, and check one of the three certifications.

7. 7

   Fill in dealer and VIN verification

   Dealers complete Section 7 (sales tax registration number, date of sale, trade-in details). For used vehicles not currently titled in Florida, have an authorized person complete the Section 8 VIN verification.

8. 8

   Claim exemptions and certifications

   In Section 9, certify any sales tax exemption or non-taxable transfer and explain under OTHER if needed. Use Section 10 for repossession and Section 11 for a lost title or non-use certifications, only if they apply.

9. 9

   Sign and add heirs' release

   In Section 12, the owner and co-owner sign and date under penalties of perjury. If the owner died, Section 13 needs the deceased's name, date of death, testate or intestate, and the signatures of the spouse, co-owner or heirs.

10. 10

Common mistakes to avoid

• Listing a post office box as the address; the cover letter accepts one only for a resident who is an active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces.
• Writing a name that does not match the proof of ownership; the name on the application must correspond to it.
• Skipping the VIN verification in Section 8 for a used vehicle brought in from out of state, or having it signed by someone who is not an authorized verifier.
• Leaving the odometer declaration blank or entering tenths; federal and state law require the mileage, and false statements may bring fines or imprisonment.
• Submitting proof of ownership that is not in the applicant's name or not properly assigned to the applicant.
• Using HSMV 82002 when the military member is not a Florida resident and not assigned to Florida by military orders, or was dishonorably discharged.
• Claiming the military exemption on HSMV 82002 without the owner's signature, which that exemption requires.
• Sending the package to a tax collector outside your county of residence, when you are not a vessel owner.
• Omitting proof of insurance, or the check or money order payable to the County Tax Collector; incomplete requests are returned unprocessed.
