To register a car in Florida you will need to submit the original title and proof of Florida insurance to the local county tax collector. Florida insurance is proven by getting car insurance through a Florida licensed insurance provider that can electronically report to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles your insurance information for verification purposes.

You must maintain your car insurance in Florida even when you are living outside of FL or surrender your tag and registration. If you do this you will have to re-register your car when you return to Florida from your original state, at which time you will again need to provide proof of Florida car insurance.
