Just moved to Florida and need to get a driver license and your car registered? Here's what to do:
If you have an out-of-state license, and it has not expired beyond 30 days, you may be able to convert your license without taking a written or road test. You will need to have a vision screening. Please call your local driver license office and schedule an appointment.

Obtain vehicle insurance from a company licensed to do business in Florida--in other words, visit a Florida insurance agent.

Take your proof of Florida insurance, along with the original title to your local county tax collector.
Prior to issuance of a Florida title, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle must be verified. The VIN does not require verification when the vehicle is new and a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin is submitted.
