What to do before the lender sends anything

The document and destination recipient need to match. Sending the right title to the wrong place can still stop the move.

  1. 01Start with Florida

    Ask the intended office to prepare HSMV 83060 and confirm where the lender must return the title or substitute evidence.

  2. 02Confirm the lender's document

    Ask what it will release, its fee and handling time, and whether it sends to you or directly to the office.

  3. 03Keep the proof trail

    Save the request, send confirmation, delivery record, agency receipt, and final registration proof in that order.
