In order to register a
used motor vehicle with an out-of-state title in Florida, the VIN must
be verified. The VIN must be physically inspected by either a law
enforcement officer, licensed motor vehicle dealer, Florida DMV
Compliance Examiner/Inspector, DMV or tax collector employee, notary
public commissioned by the state of Florida or a Provost Marshal. If the vehicle is road-worthy (vehicle has a current registration in another state, is insured and is mechanically sound) you can bring it to the Jupiter Police Department and we can perform the physical inspection for you. If the vehicle is not road-worthy and is within the Town of Jupiter jurisdiction, an officer can come to your location to perform the inspection. You can call the non-emergency number (561-746-6201) to request the inspection. The
Florida D.H.S.M.V. has more information on their website for new
residents registering
their out-of-state vehicles.
You can enter the title number or the VIN of a vehicle
registered in Florida on the Florida D.H.S.M.V. website and obtain
vehicle information. The
'Vehicle
Information Check' provides information including the year and make
of the vehicle and the title status.
