Vessel Procedures

One of the best ways to ensure accurate work is to familiarize you with the DMV Procedure Manual.  You can access the DMV procedure manual directly from the State’s website:
https://www.flhsmv.gov/motor-vehicles-tags-titles/motor-vehicle-procedure-manual/   

 

This is the resource we use to answer questions and verify information.  When you become familiar with the manual, you will save time and improve the quality of your work. 

 

Here are some of the most common Procedures used for Motor Vehicle Transactions:
