Your Florida title is a legal document, and any errors in completing it could make it invalid—meaning you’d need to obtain a duplicate. To avoid delays or complications when donating, please carefully read all instructions and tips before signing.

Do Not Void Your Florida Title 

• Use only black or blue pen
• Do not use highlighter or white-out. 
• No scribbles, write-overs, strikethroughs, or tears
• Do not sing in the Dealer Reassignment section, unless you’re an authorized dealer

If your Florida title looks different from the example shown below, take a moment to review it closely before moving forward. The placement of the signature and printed name fields may vary, but you are still required to print and sign your name in the correct designated sections.

The person(s) named on the front of the Florida title must follow these steps:

1. Sign the front of the Florida title where it reads “SIGNATURE OF SELLER”
2. Print name(s) on the front where it reads “PRINTED NAME OF SELLER”
3. Do not sign on the back.
4. If there is a lien listed on the Florida title, it must be released on line 2 of the title or accompanied by a separate lien release letter.

Signature Tips

The name(s) used to sign the Florida title must exactly match the name(s) shown on the title. If you have changed your name since the title was issued, do not sign with your new name. Go ahead and sign with the name shown on the title. 

If there are two owners on the Florida title, one or both must sign, depending on how the names appear in the title. 

• Owner 1 OR Owner 2 – Only ONE owner must sign
• Owner 1 AND/OR Owner 2 – BOTH owners must sign (unless one is deceased)
• Owner 1 AND Owner 2 – BOTH owners must sign
• Owner 1 Owner 2 (No conjunction) – BOTH owners must sign
• Company-Owned Vehicles: A signature of a person who can sign on behalf of the company legally. Provide a letterhead or document stating who the signing person is to the company.

Don’t worry about the Buyer line; you should leave that blank.

Need a new title?

If you need a replacement Florida title before your car donation pickup, please visit your local Delaware DMV.

If the title was last titled in another state, you will need to get the duplicate title from that state.
