Reader’s Question:

I live in Davie Florida and I do not have a vehicle or auto insurance. My dad is giving me his vehicle. My father lives in Michigan and that is where the vehicle is currently registered and insured. What so I have to do to insure and register the car here?

It would sound that you have a FL license, which will help you obtain car insurance and register the vehicle in your resident in Davie, FL. The FL Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV) lists exactly how to register a vehicle in this state.

When registering a car in FL you need to submit the original title and proof of FL insurance to the license plate agency or local county tax collector. FL insurance means that the insurance policy has been issued in FL by an insurance carrier licensed by the FL Department of Insurance to do business in Florida.

You need registration to obtain car insurance but you need insurance to obtain a registration.
