Electronic titles provide the same information as paper titles, and the application process for an electronic title is the same as for paper titles. You do not need to request a paper title in order to trade your vehicle to a dealership; however, you will need to obtain a paper title in order to sell your vehicle to an individual (private sale).
Vehicle, vessel and mobile homeowners with an electronic title may request a paper title online through the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ website. The state charges a fee of $4.50 for this service.

Under Chapter No. 2018-6, enacted by the Florida Legislature, the Orange County Tax Collector’s Office is mandated by the State of Florida to advise you that you may, when purchasing or registering a motor vehicle in Florida, designate $105.00 in sales tax revenue to an eligible scholarship-funding organization to support enrollment at private schools, a program known as the “Hope Scholarship Program.”
To participate, complete the Hope Scholarship Program Contribution Election Form (English | Spanish) and DR-HS1 form and submit them with your title paperwork.
Please note: Sales tax revenue designated to such an organization will not be remitted to state government. This is a voluntary contribution election; you are not required by law to participate. This is not a program endorsed by or supported by the Orange County Tax Collector’s Office.
