Lien Satisfaction letter (if applicable) – If you have the paper title to the vehicle but the lien holder information is still noted on the title we will need a letter from the lien holder stating the loan has been paid and the lien has been satisfied.
Lease Agreement (if applicable) – If you are moving into Florida and you have a leased vehicle we will need the lease agreement in replacement of the title. As a lease you will not have the title to the vehicle as you are not the registered owner.
