Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of FL Form HSMV 82040 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Section 1 — Owner & co-owner information

Full legal names, Florida driver license or FEID/EIN numbers, dates of birth, sex, AND/OR title conjunction, residential street address, and mailing address.

Section 2 & Section 3 — Vehicle description & usage brands

17-character VIN, make, year, body type, color, weight/length, previous title number/state, and private/lease/rebuilt/electric usage checkboxes.

Section 4 — Lienholder & ELT details

Checks "No lien" or records the lienholder's FEID, Florida ELT customer number, date of lien, name, and mailing address.

Sections 5, 6 & 7 — Transfer type, odometer disclosure & dealer sales tax

Acquisition method, date acquired, 5- or 6-digit whole-mile odometer declaration, and Florida dealer sales tax compliance.

Section 8 & Section 12 (Page 2) — VIN verification & penalty-of-perjury signatures

Physical VIN inspection for out-of-state vehicles (signed by notary, dealer, law enforcement, or tax collector clerk) and signatures of all owners in Section 12.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Submitting an out-of-state vehicle title without completing Section 8 (VIN verification) on Page 2.
  • 2Writing tenths of a mile in Section 6 (Odometer Declaration) — FLHSMV accepts whole miles only.
  • 3Leaving the "AND" / "OR" co-owner conjunction unchecked in Section 1 when two owners are listed.
  • 4Missing the 30-day Florida title transfer window, which triggers a late transfer fee at the County Tax Collector office.
