Signing a vehicle title is a critical step in transferring ownership. Once signed, correcting mistakes can be difficult and time-consuming.
Taking a few moments to review key details can save you from future problems.
Double-Check Owner Information
Before signing, ensure:
- Names are spelled correctly
- Buyer and seller information matches identification
- No required fields are left blank
Even small errors may delay processing.
Verify the Vehicle Information
The title should accurately reflect:
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Year, make, and model
- Odometer reading when required
Incorrect vehicle details can cause rejection or additional verification requests.
Pay Attention to Signatures and Dates
Florida titles often require:
- Correct placement of signatures
- Accurate dates of sale
- All required parties to sign
Signing in the wrong place or missing a signature can invalidate the transfer.
Avoid Alterations or White-Out
Titles with cross-outs, corrections, or altered entries may not be accepted. If a mistake is made, it’s often better to request guidance before proceeding.
