The vehicle owner must present to the tax collector documentation of property injury protection (PIP) in the amount of at least $10,000 and protection damage liability (PDL) insurance in the amount of $10,000. Motorcycles, mobile homes and trailers are exempt from the insurance requirement. Florida residents who are on military assignment outside of Florida are not required to submit proof of Florida insurance coverage. This exemption does not apply to vehicles registered solely in the name of a non-military spouse or dependent(s) of the military member. Required forms for military members are online at https://www.flhsmv.gov/military/titles-registrations-military-members/

Reasons your renewal could be refused

Failure to comply with directives or pay fines ordered by traffic court. This type of suspension is known as a driver license D6 suspension. For more information, please contact the tax collector office.
Registration is paid by a dishonored check. This stop is placed on the registration owner regardless of who wrote the check. Contact the tax collector office for further information.
Driver license suspension because of delinquent child support. For more information, visit a local Child Support Office or contact the Department of Revenue at 1-800-622-5437.

Failure to pay parking tickets or toll violations. Contact the local tax collector office for more information.
Failure to turn car over to re-possessor.

Registration stops should be indicated on registration renewal notices.

Returned check/e-check service fees

Check amount equal to or less than $50 = $25
Check amount between $50.01 and $300 = $30
Check amount between $300.01 and $800 = $35
Check amount $800.01 or greater = $40

DO NOT USE money market accounts or credit card checks for e-check payments.

Vehicle identification numbers

All motor vehicles being registered in Florida for the first time must have the vehicle identification number (VIN) verified (Form 82042). The tax collector office performs this service as a courtesy at the time of registration (weather permitting). The VIN can also be verified by any law enforcement officer, a Florida notary public or a Florida motor vehicle dealer.

EXCEPTION: All used vehicles coming into Florida from a foreign country must have the vehicle identification number verified by a DMV Compliance Examiner/Inspector. This does not include vehicles from American Samoa, Virgin Islands, Guam or Puerto Rico.
