Default Can I register a car in FL if im in another state?

Before I make the trek all the way down to FL to register this car, I wanted to see if anyone had info about getting a car registered if you're not in the state.

Has anyone ever done something like this? I checked the DMV website but it wasn't really helpful. I'am currently in N.y, but I still hold a FL License.

-Thanks in advance. All input is appreciated

I think you need proof of address in FL, i could be mistaken thou. ( I still have GA plates, but its still legal because i own property in GA)

Proof of address is no biggie since im technically still a FL resident.

Scott Thanks for trying to help but I already said im my original post that the DMV website wasnt really helpful. TTT for more useful info.

? what else did you need to know thats not on the website...

When registering your vehicle in the state of Florida, you must show proof of ownership, verify the VIN number, and show proof of Florida insurance requirements.

Out of State Vehicle Registration

If you are moving to Florida, the state's law requires that you register a vehicle within 10 days after engaging in an occupation in Florida or enter a child in a Florida school. You need to first obtain a Florida drivers license. Next you need to obtain auto insurance from a company licensed in Florida. Many auto insurance companies licensed in Florida provide online services. At the DMV you'll also need your original out-of-state title and VIN verification.
that basically says what you need to register a car here... if you can do that stuff, you can register.

or am i missing something? lol.

yes, you are missing something. I didnt ask for the requierments on registering a car in FL. I asked if it can be done if you're out of state

There is an answer to my question on the DMV website Florida DHSMV Dealer Licenses ( 3rd Question ) but I didnt find the answer helpful, it just refers to a form that I am not familair with.

So it does seem that it can be done; I just am looking to hear from someone who has been through the process before. : )

Thanks for the help though. TTT
