Form 82101 is used when the Certificate of Title is:
Lost
Damaged/Destroyed
Never received
Titles that have never been received are called “Lost in Transit”. There is no fee to replace these if they are applied for within 180 days of the last issuance. For a title to be considered Lost in Transit, it must have been mailed from the DMV in Tallahassee. If it is mailed from your dealership to your customer, it is not considered Lost in Transit and full fees apply.

Fast Title Authorization
If you would like a fast title, you will also need permission from the owner to pick up the title. You have 3 options to obtain this permission:
Fast Title Authorization Form – UDS309
A Power of Attorney – HSMV 82053
A Letter on Dealer Letterhead stating who is allowed to pick up Fast Titles on behalf of the dealership. This letter will stay on file at the office you submit it to. If you do business with more than one office, a separate letter will be needed for each location.
