Boca Auto Tag and Title

Converting Your Florida Electronic Title to a Paper Title

If you’ve recently paid off a lien or financing on your Florida-registered vehicle, your title is most likely maintained electronically by the Florida Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) System.

Requesting a Paper Title

As the owner of a vehicle with an electronic title (and no lien), you can request to have your electronic title converted to a paper title through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

This can be done:

Online: Visit the FLHSMV online services website to submit your request.
In Person: Visit a local Tax Collector’s office or Motor Vehicle Services agency.

After your request is processed, the paper title will be mailed to the address listed on your motor vehicle record. Typically, when ordered online, paper titles are mailed within 3 to 4 weeks.

How can I tell if my title is paper or electronic?

Can I print my electronic title at home?

Titles cannot be printed at home.

My lender told me they would send me my title but it never arrived, what happened?

In most states, when a lien on a vehicle, vessel, trailer, or other vehicle is paid off, the state automatically releases the title and mails it to the owner.

However, Florida does things differently.

When a lien is satisfied in Florida, the lien is released, but the title remains electronic. Florida vehicle owners must request to have the title converted to paper form.

What do I need to bring or send to Boca Auto Tag and Title to request to print my title?

To convert an electronic title to a paper title, the following information and supporting documents are required:

Proof of Identification: The owner’s driver’s license or passport.
Vehicle Information: A current or expired registration, or the vehicle’s VIN, year, make, and model.
Loan Payoff Letter: If the lien was recently paid off, please provide the payoff letter from your lienholder.

My title is electronic, and I want to sell my car. Does the title need to be converted to paper, or can it remain electronic?

Whether you need a paper or electronic title depends on the type of transaction:

Trading Your Vehicle Into a Florida Dealer: If your title is electronic, you do not need to request a paper title before trading your vehicle. If your title is already in paper format, bring it with you to the dealership.
Selling to a Private Buyer: If your title is electronic, you will need to convert the title to paper format to sell it. If your title is in paper format, you will need it to transfer ownership to the buyer.

In summary, electronic titles are fine for trade-ins at Florida dealerships, but paper titles are required for most sales.
