Florida HSMV Form 82039 – Multiple Title Application Guide – If your company or corporation needs to title several identical motor vehicles, mobile homes, or vessels in Florida at once, HSMV Form 82039 is the official document issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). This form streamlines the process of obtaining multiple certificates of title, with or without vehicle registration, in a single application.
What Is Florida HSMV Form 82039?
Form HSMV 82039 is the official “Application for Multiple Certificates of Title With/Without Registrations” used by the Florida Division of Motorist Services. It allows an authorized agent of a company or corporation to apply for titles on multiple new or used motor vehicles, mobile homes, or vessels that share the same year, make, body style, and weight (or length for vessels and mobile homes).
Unlike the standard single-unit title application forms (HSMV 82040 MV, 82040 MH, or 82040 VS), Form 82039 is specifically designed for fleet or bulk applications. The current revision is dated January 13, 2021, and remains the version accepted by Florida tax collector offices and FLHSMV.
Who Can Use Form HSMV 82039?
According to the official instructions printed on the reverse side of the form:
- Any authorized agent of a company or corporation that is required to apply for multiple Florida certificates of title may complete and submit this form.
- Individual private owners generally use the standard HSMV 82040 series forms instead.
The form must be signed by an authorized agent of the company or corporation, and the printed name of that agent must appear on the application.
When Should You Use Florida Form 82039?
Use Form HSMV 82039 when all of the following conditions apply:
- You are applying on behalf of a company or corporation.
- You need multiple certificates of title at the same time.
- The vehicles, mobile homes, or vessels have the same year, make, body, and weight.
- For vessels and mobile homes, body and weight are excluded; length is used instead.
Common scenarios include fleet acquisitions, dealership bulk transfers, leasing company inventory, or corporate purchases of identical units.
