Florida Form HSMV 78063 is the Application for Duplicate or Lost in Transit/Reassignment for a Motor Vehicle, Mobile Home or Vessel Title Certificate, and every Florida owner, dealer, or lienholder who needs to replace a missing paper title or reassign a title lost in the mail must file it with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through a county tax collector office. The form is the only legal pathway in Florida to obtain a duplicate title when the original is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, and getting a single box wrong can stall a sale, block a lien payoff, or freeze a registration renewal.
According to the FLHSMV annual statistics, Florida processes over 800,000 duplicate title transactions every year, and the agency reports that roughly 1 in 7 mailed-in duplicate applications get rejected on the first pass for missing signatures, ID copies, or fee errors per the FLHSMV Procedures Manual TL-08. The current form revision is Rev. 09/23, and using an outdated version is one of the fastest ways to get bounced back at the counter.

What Form HSMV 78063 Is and Who Must File It
Form HSMV 78063 is the official Florida application a titled owner uses to request a duplicate certificate of title or to reassign a title that was lost while being mailed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The form is authorized under Florida Statutes §319.23 for motor vehicles and mobile homes, and under Florida Statutes §328.05 for vessels. Every duplicate or lost-in-transit reassignment in Florida must travel through this single form, no matter which county handles the transaction.
The people who must file are the recorded owner on the original title, a co-owner with signing authority, an executor or personal representative of a deceased owner’s estate, a lienholder whose lien is still active, or a licensed motor vehicle dealer who took an open title that was then lost during reassignment. Powers of attorney are accepted only when paired with a separate HSMV 82053 Power of Attorney form. A buyer who never received a title from a seller cannot file 78063 in their own name; they have to chase the seller or apply for a bonded title using HSMV 82033 instead.
The form solves a narrow but critical problem: in Florida, you cannot legally sell, gift, junk, or transfer a vehicle, mobile home, or vessel without surrendering a valid title, and the FLHSMV Procedures Manual TL-08 only recognizes 78063 as the cure for a missing one. If the title is being held electronically through Florida’s Electronic Lien and Title system, you do not need 78063 at all; you need HSMV 82101 to convert the e-title to paper. Filing 78063 when the title is electronic is the single most common procedural error flagged at the counter.
Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need
Florida tax collector offices reject incomplete 78063 packets on the spot, so build a pre-filing checklist and work through it before you put pen to the form. The list below covers every document and data point you need at hand, with a short note on why each one matters and what happens if it is missing per the FLHSMV title checklist.
- Title number or VIN/HIN. The 8-digit Florida title number speeds the lookup; without it, the clerk runs a VIN/HIN search that can delay processing by a day if the record has any flag.
- Current photo ID. A Florida driver license, Florida ID, U.S. passport, or military ID is required under §319.23(3); without a valid ID, the application is refused before the clerk even keys it in.
- Lien information. If there is an active lien, you need the lienholder’s name, address, FEID, and a release letter on lienholder letterhead, or the duplicate will be issued straight to the lienholder.
- Odometer reading (motor vehicles under 20 years old). The federal Truth in Mileage Act requires it, and a missing odometer line voids the entire application.
- Vessel registration decal number (vessels only). This ties the title request to the vessel’s current state record under §328.05; without it, the clerk has to manually match the HIN.
- Mobile home decal numbers and length/width (mobile homes only). Each section of a multi-section mobile home has its own title and its own 78063.
- Power of Attorney (HSMV 82053). Required if anyone other than the owner signs; without it, the signature is treated as a forgery flag.
- Death certificate and Letters of Administration. Required when the recorded owner is deceased; without them, the title stays frozen in probate.
- Dealer license number. Licensed dealers using the reassignment section must enter their VI/VF/VC number, or the dealer reassignment is void.
- Payment. Be ready with the current fee plus the optional Fast Title surcharge; insufficient funds void the filing date.
Where to Get the Form and How to Access It
The official, fillable version of HSMV Form 78063 lives on the FLHSMV forms library, and that is the only PDF you should use because tax collector offices reject scanned, faxed, or third-party copies whose barcodes do not match the agency template. Download the form, type into it on a desktop PDF reader, and print it on plain white letter-size paper; mobile-printed versions sometimes scale wrong and the agency’s optical character readers reject mis-sized barcodes per the FLHSMV forms page.
You can also pick up a paper copy at any county tax collector office or license plate agent. Use the tax collector locator maintained by the Florida Department of Revenue to find the closest one, since each of Florida’s 67 counties runs its own office under the local Tax Collector and not directly under FLHSMV. Some counties, like Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, and Orange County, keep blank 78063 forms at every branch.
For a duplicate paper title (not a reassignment), you can skip the paper form entirely and apply through the MyDMV Portal using your Florida driver license credentials. The portal walks you through the same data 78063 asks for and submits an electronic equivalent. The portal does not handle lost-in-transit reassignments, dealer reassignments, or estate transfers, so anything beyond a clean owner-to-owner duplicate still needs the paper form.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out Form HSMV 78063 Line by Line
The form is a single page with eight numbered sections plus a Customer Authorization signature block. Use blue or black ink, print in capital letters, and never use correction fluid; any whiteout voids the form per the FLHSMV Procedures Manual TL-08. Each subsection below covers what the box asks, how to answer it, an example, a nuance, the most common mistake, and a misconception.
Section 1: Vehicle/Vessel/Mobile Home Identification
What the box asks in plain English. Section 1 wants the unique identifier for the property: the VIN for a car or truck, the HIN for a vessel, or the serial number for each section of a mobile home. It also asks for year, make, body type, and color.
How to answer it. Copy the VIN or HIN exactly from the dashboard plate, the door jamb sticker, or the vessel transom; do not copy from registration paperwork because typos there are common. Use uppercase letters, no dashes, and zero (0) versus the letter O exactly as stamped.
A specific example answer. Maria Lopez owns a 2019 Honda Civic and writes the VIN as 2HGFC2F69KH542318, year 2019, make HONDA, body 4D, and color BLU.
A nuance or edge case. Older vessels built before 1972 may not have a 12-character HIN; for those, write PRE-1972 in the HIN box and attach a builder’s certification or the prior title.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers often write the engine number on a motorcycle instead of the frame VIN, and the application is rejected because Florida titles only the frame.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many believe the VIN on the registration card is authoritative, but the FLHSMV title manual requires the VIN as physically stamped on the vehicle, which is the controlling number.
Section 2: Owner Information
What the box asks in plain English. Section 2 collects the legal name, Florida driver license or ID number, FEID (for businesses), date of birth, sex, and physical Florida address of the recorded owner.
How to answer it. Enter the first owner’s name exactly as printed on the existing title; if it reads MARIA T LOPEZ, do not shorten it to MARIA LOPEZ. The address must be a Florida physical address, not a P.O. Box, because Florida titling tracks residency.
A specific example answer. Maria T Lopez, FL DL L120-456-85-789-0, DOB 03/14/1985, sex F, address 742 Evergreen Terrace, Tampa, FL 33602.
A nuance or edge case. If you have a P.O. Box for mail delivery, write the physical address on the main line and add the P.O. Box on the mailing address line; rural-route addresses use the 911 physical address from the county property appraiser.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers shorten or change the name from what is on the original title, which causes the duplicate to be issued in a name that no longer matches the chain of ownership and forces a name-correction filing on HSMV 82040.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many think a married name change can be handled inside Section 2; it cannot. A name change requires a separate HSMV 82040 plus the marriage certificate.
Section 3: Co-Owner Information
What the box asks in plain English. Section 3 mirrors Section 2 for any second person on title, and asks how the owners are joined: AND, OR, or AND/OR.
How to answer it. Copy the co-owner exactly as the existing title shows, including the joining word. The joining word controls who must sign at sale, so it must match the original record.
A specific example answer. Maria T Lopez OR Carlos R Lopez, with Carlos’s DL number, DOB 07/22/1982, and same Tampa address.
A nuance or edge case. A title held AND requires both signatures on the duplicate request; OR allows either alone. AND/OR is rare and treated as OR per the FLHSMV title manual.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers leave the joining word blank, which forces the clerk to default to AND and demand both signatures on the spot, sometimes voiding a same-day appointment.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many believe a co-owner who lives out of state cannot sign; they can, as long as they sign with a notary if mailing the form.
Section 4: Lienholder Information
What the box asks in plain English. Section 4 asks whether a lien exists, the lienholder’s name, FEID, address, and the date the lien was recorded.
How to answer it. If the original title shows a lien that has not been satisfied, copy the lienholder data exactly. If the lien has been paid off but never released, attach a lien satisfaction letter under §319.27 and check the no lien box.
A specific example answer. Wells Fargo Auto, FEID 94-1347393, address PO Box 17900, Denver CO 80217, lien date 04/12/2022.
A nuance or edge case. If the lien is held electronically through Florida’s Electronic Lien and Title system, the duplicate is issued only to the lienholder, not the owner; the owner must request a print-out via HSMV 82101.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers mark no lien when one is still recorded, and the duplicate is held for fraud review for up to 30 days.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many think a payoff alone removes the lien from the title record; it does not. The lienholder must file a formal release with FLHSMV.
Section 5: Mileage Disclosure
What the box asks in plain English. Section 5 captures the current odometer reading and a status code: actual, not actual, or exceeds mechanical limits.
How to answer it. Read the dashboard odometer the day you sign the form and write whole miles only, no tenths. For vehicles 20 years old or older, and for trailers and vessels, write EXEMPT in the box.
A specific example answer. Maria writes 47,812 and checks actual mileage.
A nuance or edge case. A digital odometer that has rolled past 999,999 miles must be marked exceeds mechanical limits under federal 49 CFR §580.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers leave the status box blank, and the federal odometer rule treats a blank status as a non-disclosure, voiding the application.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many believe the federal odometer rule sunsets at 10 years; the rule was extended in 2021 to 20 years for model year 2011 and newer.
Section 6: Application Type
What the box asks in plain English. Section 6 has check-boxes for Duplicate, Lost in Transit, and Lost in Transit/Reassignment, plus a check-box for Fast Title expedited service.
How to answer it. Check exactly one of the three primary options. Duplicate covers a title that was lost, stolen, or destroyed in the owner’s possession; Lost in Transit covers a title that was mailed by FLHSMV but never arrived; Lost in Transit/Reassignment is for licensed dealers only.
A specific example answer. Maria checks Duplicate and also checks Fast Title to pick up the new title the same day.
A nuance or edge case. Lost in Transit can only be checked within 180 days of the original mail date; after that, the request defaults to Duplicate with the standard fee.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers check both Duplicate and Lost in Transit, which forces the clerk to reject and re-key the entire application.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many think Fast Title is automatic at any office; it is only available at offices listed on the FLHSMV Fast Title locator and only for in-person filings.
Section 7: Reassignment Information (Dealers Only)
What the box asks in plain English. Section 7 lets a licensed Florida motor vehicle dealer assign the new duplicate title directly to a buyer the dealer has already sold the vehicle to, skipping a separate transfer.
How to answer it. Enter the dealer’s license number (VI, VF, VC, or VG), the buyer’s name, address, sale date, and sale price. The dealer must also complete a separate HSMV 82994 odometer disclosure if the original title’s odometer line is unreadable.
A specific example answer. Sunshine Auto Sales, license VI-1023456, sells to David Kim of 512 Beach Rd, Naples FL 34102 on 05/12/2026 for $14,200.
A nuance or edge case. Only the first reassignment can be done on 78063; subsequent reassignments need a Reassignment Supplement HSMV 82994.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Dealers enter the wholesale auction price instead of the retail sale price, triggering a sales tax audit by the Florida Department of Revenue.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many dealers think Section 7 doubles as a bill of sale; it does not. A separate bill of sale or HSMV 82050 is still required.
Section 8: Customer Authorization and Signature
What the box asks in plain English. Section 8 is the sworn statement that everything above is true, and it must be signed under penalty of perjury under §837.06.
How to answer it. Sign in blue or black ink, print your name, and date the line. If the form is mailed in, the signature must be notarized by a Florida notary or any notary recognized under the Uniform Recognition of Acknowledgments Act.
A specific example answer. Maria T Lopez signs Maria T Lopez, prints MARIA T LOPEZ, and dates 05/27/2026.
A nuance or edge case. A power of attorney signer must write POA after the signature and attach the original HSMV 82053.
A common mistake on this field and its direct consequence. Filers print instead of sign, and the clerk treats the form as unsigned, sending it back unprocessed.
A misconception people hold about this field. Many believe an electronic signature is acceptable on the paper form; it is not. Wet-ink signatures only.

How to File the Completed Form
Florida offers three filing channels for 78063, and each has its own fee structure, processing time, and proof-of-filing rules. Pick the channel that fits the urgency of your sale or registration deadline, because once filed, you cannot switch channels mid-process per the FLHSMV duplicate title page.
In person at a county tax collector office. Walk the completed form, photo ID, and any lien release into any Florida tax collector branch. The standard duplicate fee is $75.75 for motor vehicles and mobile homes, $11.00 for vessels under §328.05, and the optional Fast Title surcharge is $10.00. Payment methods are cash, debit, credit (with a small convenience fee), check, or money order. Same-day pickup is the proof of filing; standard processing without Fast Title takes 7–10 business days.
By mail to the county tax collector. Mail the notarized form, ID copy, lien release if applicable, and a check or money order made out to the local tax collector. Use the mailing address listed on the specific county’s tax collector website, like the Pinellas County Tax Collector mailing page, since FLHSMV headquarters in Tallahassee will not process mailed 78063 packets directly. Processing takes 10–15 business days; keep the certified-mail green card as proof of filing.
Online through MyDMV Portal (duplicates only). Log in to the MyDMV Portal with your Florida driver license credentials, choose Duplicate Title, pay the $75.75 fee plus a $2.00 portal convenience charge by credit or debit card, and download the receipt. Mailed paper title arrives in 5–7 business days, or you can choose the e-title option and store it electronically. The portal does not accept lost-in-transit, dealer reassignment, or estate filings.
What Happens After You File
Once FLHSMV accepts the application, the agency runs the VIN/HIN through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System and Florida’s internal database to confirm there are no theft, salvage, or lien holds per 49 USC §30502. If everything clears, the new title prints in Tallahassee and ships by USPS first-class mail to the address in Section 2, or to the lienholder if Section 4 shows an active lien.
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days for in-person filings without Fast Title, 5–7 days for MyDMV Portal requests, and 10–15 days for mailed applications. Fast Title delivers a paper title across the counter the same day, but only at locations listed on the FLHSMV Fast Title list. The original lost title is automatically voided in the FLHSMV system the moment the duplicate is issued, so if the missing title turns up later, it is no longer valid for transfer.
If the new title does not arrive within 30 days, file a status check by calling the issuing tax collector or by re-filing 78063 with the Lost in Transit box checked instead of Duplicate; the second filing is fee-free if filed within 180 days of the original under §319.23(2). Buyers, lienholders, and DMV examiners can verify the new title status anytime through the Florida Title Inquiry tool.
Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form
The errors below show up most often in rejected 78063 packets according to the FLHSMV Procedures Manual TL-08. Each one carries a specific consequence, so treat this list as a final pre-submit audit.
- Using an outdated form revision. Older revisions lack barcodes the FLHSMV scanners need, so the office rejects the packet at intake.
- Filing 78063 when the title is electronic. The right form is HSMV 82101; 78063 is rejected and the fee is forfeited.
- Missing or wrong VIN. A single character error voids the application and forces a brand-new filing with a brand-new fee.
- Blank odometer status. Federal law treats a blank status as fraud; the application is rejected and may be flagged for review.
- No notarization on a mailed form. Mailed 78063 forms must be notarized; without it, the tax collector returns the packet unprocessed.
- Mismatched owner name. Any deviation from the original title triggers a name-correction filing on HSMV 82040 and weeks of delay.
- Wrong joining word for co-owners. Defaulting to AND when the title says OR requires both signatures and can void a same-day appointment.
- Marking no lien when a lien is active. This kicks the file into a 30-day fraud review.
- Skipping the Section 8 signature. An unsigned form is a non-filing; the date you mailed it does not count.
- Paying the wrong fee. Insufficient funds void the filing date, and the fee schedule changes by vehicle type and county surcharge.
Do’s and Don’ts
These rules summarize the highest-impact behaviors that keep 78063 packets clean.
- Do download the latest HSMV 78063 PDF the same day you file; revisions roll out without notice.
- Do print in capital letters with blue or black ink because the FLHSMV scanners are tuned for that combination.
- Do photocopy the completed form before submitting because the agency does not return originals if rejected.
- Do keep the certified-mail receipt or in-person receipt as proof of filing under §319.23(5).
- Do verify the lien status through the Florida Title Inquiry tool before filing because surprise liens cause the longest delays.
- Do add Fast Title if a sale is pending in the next 10 days because the $10 surcharge saves a week.
- Don’t use whiteout, correction tape, or strike-throughs because any alteration voids the form.
- Don’t sign before a non-notary witness when filing by mail because non-notarized signatures are rejected.
- Don’t combine multiple vehicles on one form because each VIN/HIN needs its own 78063.
- Don’t mail 78063 to FLHSMV in Tallahassee because only county tax collectors process it.
- Don’t assume Lost in Transit is fee-free after 180 days because the standard fee applies once that window closes.
- Don’t file 78063 to fix a name change because that requires HSMV 82040.
Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Help
Most Florida owners file 78063 themselves because the form is short, but dealers, estates, and lienholders often use a title service company. Weigh the trade-offs below before deciding.
Pros of filing on your own.
- Lower cost because you avoid the $50–$150 service fee a title company adds on top of FLHSMV fees.
- Faster control because you choose the appointment time at the tax collector locator instead of waiting for a third party.
- Direct communication with the clerk if a question comes up about a lien or odometer reading.
- Privacy because no outside vendor sees your driver license, SSN, or address.
- Learning curve that pays off if you ever buy or sell another titled asset in Florida.
Cons of filing on your own.
- Higher rejection risk if you have not done it before, since the FLHSMV Procedures Manual TL-08 is dense.
- Time cost because in-person appointments at busy counties like Miami-Dade can run 90 minutes.
- No professional review of the joining-word and lien sections, which are the most common rejection points.
- Notary hassle for mailed filings if you do not have a free notary at your bank.
- No tracking beyond the certified-mail green card, while title services usually offer dashboard updates.
FAQs
Q: Is HSMV 78063 the only form I need to replace a lost Florida title? Yes. It is the sole replacement application, but you may also need HSMV 82053 for a power of attorney or HSMV 82101 if your title is electronic.
Q: How much does a duplicate Florida title cost in 2026? Yes, there is a fee. The standard fee is $75.75 for motor vehicles and mobile homes, $11.00 for vessels, plus an optional $10.00 Fast Title surcharge.
Q: Can I file 78063 online? Yes, for clean owner duplicates only, through the MyDMV Portal. Lost-in-transit and dealer reassignments must be filed on paper.
Q: Do I need to notarize the form? Yes, if you mail it. No, if you sign it in person at the tax collector counter, where the clerk verifies your photo ID instead.
Q: Do I write my full middle name in Section 2 if it is not on the original title? No. Match the original title exactly; adding a middle name causes a name-mismatch hold and a HSMV 82040 correction.
Q: What if my title was held by a lender that went out of business? Yes, you can still file. Attach the lien satisfaction or FDIC successor letter under §319.27 and check no lien in Section 4.
Q: Can a co-owner file alone if the title says AND? No. AND requires both signatures; only OR lets one co-owner act alone per the FLHSMV title manual.
Q: Do I check both Duplicate and Lost in Transit if I’m not sure? No. Pick one. Lost in Transit applies only when FLHSMV mailed the title and it never arrived within 180 days.
Q: Is the odometer line required on a 25-year-old car? No. Vehicles 20 years and older are exempt under 49 CFR §580; write EXEMPT in the box.
Q: Can I get a same-day duplicate title? Yes, with Fast Title at participating offices listed on the FLHSMV locations page. The $10 surcharge applies on top of the standard fee.
Q: Do dealers have to fill out Section 7? Yes, if they are reassigning a lost-in-transit title to a buyer. No, if they are just replacing a lost title for inventory.
Q: What happens if my replacement title also gets lost in the mail? Yes, you can re-file. Use 78063 again with Lost in Transit checked within 180 days; the re-filing fee is waived under §319.23(2).
Q: Can I use HSMV 78063 if the registered owner died? Yes, but the executor must sign and attach a death certificate plus Letters of Administration under Florida Probate Code §733.612.
Q: Do I need a Florida address to file? Yes, for motor vehicles and mobile homes. No, out-of-state owners can use a Florida vessel address only for vessel titles under §328.05.
