lost, stolen or damaged. A fee is required for this type of application.
Vehicle/vessel lost in transit – This box indicates you have ordered a title and at least 20 days have passed and you have not
received the title. No fee is required if the application is made within 180 days of the last title issuance which was lost in the mail.
Fees are charged for duplicates or lost in transit requests after more than 180 days from the previous issuance.
Vehicle/vessel duplicate with transfer – This box should be checked if you need to order a duplicate title and immediately transfer
it to another owner. Both parties must be present and have photo identification. A power of attorney may not be used, except when a

Section 2 – Application for Duplicate is made by: Check the appropriate box to indicate who is applying for the duplicate. Provide
name, address and, if you are a dealer, provide your dealer license number.
Section 3 – Motor Vehicle, Mobile Home or Vessel Description: Complete all applicable information. The purchaser must provide a
license plate or vehicle registration number if you are requesting a duplicate with transfer unless the vehicle or vessel will not be operated
on Florida highways or waterways. If the vehicle or vessel will not be operated on Florida highways or waterways, the box in section 6
must be checked stating such.

vehicle has a five or six-digit odometer and enter the odometer reading from the vehicle. The vehicle is exempt from the odometer
requirement if it is 10 years old or older.
Enter the odometer reading from the motor vehicle, unless the motor vehicle is exempt from the odometer requirement.
If there is any reason to doubt the odometer reading does not accurately reflect “actual” mileage, check the box to indicate
“not actual mileage.” If the vehicle has more than 99,999 on the odometer reading and it is a 5-digit odometer, the box “in
excess of mechanical limits” must be checked.
