Does the license plate go with the car when I sell it?

No. In Florida the plate stays with the seller. Remove it before the buyer takes the vehicle.

What do I do with the plate after selling?

Transfer it to your next vehicle at the tax collector's office, or surrender it if you are moving out of state or canceling insurance.

How long do I have to surrender a plate?

If you move out of state or cancel insurance on the vehicle, surrender the plate within 30 days.

What if I forget to remove the plate at pickup?

Call us right away. We will help you sort it out, but it is much simpler to remove it before the truck leaves.

Do I still need to file a Notice of Sale?

Yes. Removing the plate does not replace the Notice of Sale. File Form HSMV 82050 within 30 days to release your liability.

The Plate Stays With You, Not the Car

This surprises a lot of sellers: in Florida, the license plate belongs to you, not the vehicle. When you sell your car, even to a junk car buyer, the plate does not go with it. Remove it before the buyer takes possession.

Remove It Before Pickup

Take the plate off before our tow truck arrives, or hand it to our driver to remind you at pickup. It takes thirty seconds and it is one of the most commonly forgotten steps. We see it happen every week, so do not feel bad if it slips your mind. Just make sure it comes off before we leave.

Transfer It or Surrender It

If you are buying another vehicle, you can transfer the plate to it at the tax collector's office. If you are moving out of state or canceling the insurance on the sold vehicle, surrender the plate within 30 days. Holding onto a plate for a car you no longer own or insure can create headaches, so deal with it promptly.

Do Not Forget the Notice of Sale

Removing the plate and filing your Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) are the two steps that fully separate you from the vehicle. Do both and you are done. Ready to sell? Call (954) 787-5717 for an offer.
