fficer an insurance card you know the insurance has been can Celed-or if you falsify the card-you may be arrested and charged with a second-degree misdemeanor. FLHSMV will always provide you with an opportunity to prove insurance coverage or have an administrative hearing. When you receive the notice of suspension of your license you may request a hearing: otherwise one will ot bescheduled for your Other higher coverage limits are required by law if: your driver license is suspended for accumulation of excessive points for infractions; you cause a crash and people were injured; your driver license was revoked for Habitual Traffic Offender status; or your driver license was revoked for any serious offense. The required coverage for these cases are $10,000 BIL for injuries to one person, $20,000 BIL for injuries to two or more people, ghway Safety and Motor Vehicles $10,000 PDL; OR $30,000 combined single limits. If you do not provide proof of higher coverage limits, your driver license and/ or license plates will be suspended for up to three years. In addition, if you are the driver or the owner of a vehicle involved in a crash that is your fault, FLHSMV can require you to pay for the damages before your driving privilege is reinstated. Vehicle Registration The vehicle you own must have a Florida registration certificate and license plate. If a non-resident accepts employment or engages in a trade, profession or occupation in Florida; or enrolls children to be educated in a Florida public school, they must obtain the registration certificate and license plate within 10 days after beginning employment or enrollment. You also must have a Florida Certificate of Title for your vehicle unless an out-of-state lien holder/lessor holds the title and will not release it to Florida. To get your registration certificate and license plate, you must show proof of Florida insurance (in most cases, you need a Florida driver license to get insurance.) You must also prove that you own your vehicle by showing your certificate of title. The vehicle identification number (VIN) on any vehicle previously titled or registered in another state must be verified by one of several designated officials before the vehicle can be titled and registered in Florida. VIN verification is not required on any new vehicles (regardless of whether purchased in Florida or out of state), or new/used YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGE mobile homes, trailer type recre- ational vehicles (travel trailers, camp trailers, truck campers, and fifth wheel recreational trailers), or trailers and semi-trailers with a weight of less than 2,000 pounds. Applying for Title, License Plates & Registration Apply for title, license plates, and registration at any service center in Florida. The cost of your license plate will depend on the type and weight of your vehicle. Your vehicle must always have a current license plate and you must always have your vehicle's reg- istration when you are driving. If you buy a vehicle from a dealer in Florida, the dealer must apply for a certificate of title, certificate of registration and license plate for you. If you buy a vehi- cle from an individual, you must obtain the title from the individual and apply for a certificate of title in your name. You may apply for a certificate of title, certificate of registration, and license plate at the same time. You cannot get a license plate until you have a title to prove that you own the vehicle. All first time driver license applicants who hold an out-of-state license should apply for a Florida driver license before they register their vehicle in Florida (many service centers will do both at the same time). the ONS The Official Florida Driver License Handbook-rev. 06/2022 59 flhsmv.gov
