Thank you. Yeah, calling sounds actually like a good idea. Nowadays, with all the automated systems, I don't even think this being a viable option anymore. I guess, I will give it a try and see how that turns out. Will report back how that would be, for a car not purchased.

Hi folks, I have a fairly specific question and hope that someone already has experience with this. Here’s what it is. - Starting full time June 1st - Florida address and DL established - RV FL reg. and title taken care of by dealer - Car (and us) currently located in California - Will make our way, “slowly” over to FL but that will take longer (min. 1 year+) - We currently are having a loan on that car, so the title is with the lender - I certainly can fly to FL, but the car is unfortunately not making the carry-on category I found some information here: https://www.flhsmv.gov/new-resident/ Besides filling out that form 82040, which I assume you need a semester of law school or alike to quite get what they’re asking for… but let not focus on that too much right now. … so what I am trying to understand, what is the actual process. Given above article does NOT state: >> Verification of physical inspection of the motor vehicle’s vehicle identification number (VIN)<< … under section “For vehicles with a lien”, am I assuming correctly that we do not have to get our vehicle to Florida to be physically looked at? Also, in general, what has one to do to get it registered. i.e. - Call the bank to get the title transferred to Florida - Fill out the form - Show up at the FLHSMV office, hand over form and pay your fees (maybe an online option available?) - Wait for the license plates to show up by mail I would love to hear from someone who was in the same situation or knows someone who has gone through that process. Thank you in advance, looking forward to your feedback. Tobi
