How do you sign over a car title in Florida?

I’m selling my car to a college friend and can’t figure out what to do with the title. How do I transfer car ownership in Florida?

As far as title transfers go, the process in
Florida
 is fairly straightforward! 
To avoid any confusion, the state encourages buyers and sellers to head to their nearest DMV office to complete the title transfer process. If you go it alone, you could be held accountable for any fees or damages resulting from an error.
Here’s how to
transfer a car title in Florida
: 
  1. Complete your car title’s “Transfer of Title by Seller” section. Fill in the buyer’s name and address, the odometer reading, the sale price, and the date of the sale.
  2. Sign the form where indicated.
  3. Ask the buyer to complete an Application for Certificate of Title With/Without Registration form.
  4. Submit both forms to a Florida DMV office.
Remember: you must transfer the vehicle title within 30 days, or you risk being charged a late fee by the Florida DMV. Luckily, the process shouldn’t take too long. Congrats on selling your car!
