Double Transfers
When buying or selling a vehicle, you may encounter situations requiring a double transfer—a process where a vehicle’s title is transferred twice in succession. This often happens when a vehicle is sold to a middle party before reaching its final owner.
At Auto Tags & Titles of South Florida, we specialize in handling double transfers, ensuring all paperwork is accurate and processed correctly. We help you avoid delays, penalties, or legal complications. Whether you’re a dealer, private seller, or buyer, our team simplifies the process for you.
What Is a Double Transfer?
A double transfer occurs when a vehicle title passes through an intermediary party before reaching the final owner. This is common in:
- Dealer transactions where a vehicle is bought and resold without registering it in the dealer’s name
- Private party sales where an initial buyer sells the vehicle before registering it
- Estate settlements where a deceased owner’s vehicle is transferred to a beneficiary and then sold
Since Florida law requires title transfers to be legally documented, handling this process correctly is essential to prevent title rejections or penalties. Auto Tags & Titles of South Florida is your reliable partner in this process.
Eligibility Criteria for Double Transfers in Florida
To complete a double transfer, you must meet specific requirements set by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
- Properly Endorsed Titles: Both parties must sign the title correctly to ensure a valid chain of ownership.
- Bill of Sale Documentation: A detailed bill of sale is needed for each transfer.
- No Liens on the Vehicle: The title must be clear of any outstanding liens unless properly released.
- Valid Identification: Both the intermediary and the final buyer must provide valid identification.
- Taxes and Fees: Florida sales tax may apply to each transaction, requiring proper documentation for tax compliance.
Failing to meet these requirements can result in delays, fines, or rejection of the title transfer. Have questions about eligibility? Our team at Auto Tags & Titles of South Florida is here to help.
