Form HSMV 83091. Application for Temporary License Plate

The HSMV 83091 form, also known as the Application for Temporary License Plate, is a legal document used in Florida to obtain a temporary license plate for a motor vehicle. The form is typically used by individuals who have purchased a vehicle but have not yet received their permanent license plates.

The main purpose of the HSMV 83091 form is to provide authorization to an individual to operate a motor vehicle on public roads while waiting for the permanent license plates to arrive. It consists of two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A is completed by the applicant, while Part B is completed by the motor vehicle dealer.

The important fields in Part A include the applicant's name, address, and signature, as well as the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the date of purchase. In Part B, the motor vehicle dealer's name, address, and signature are required, as well as the date of sale and the vehicle's make and model.

The parties involved in completing the HSMV 83091 form are the applicant and the motor vehicle dealer. It is important for both parties to carefully review and fill out the form accurately to avoid any issues with driving the vehicle on public roads.

When compiling/filling the form, the applicant will need to provide their personal information, signature, and the VIN of the vehicle. The motor vehicle dealer will need to provide their information, signature, and the make and model of the vehicle. No additional documents are required to be attached to the form.

An example of when the HSMV 83091 form might be used is when an individual purchases a vehicle from a motor vehicle dealer but has not yet received their permanent license plates. The individual would fill out Part A of the form, and the motor vehicle dealer would fill out Part B. The completed form would then be submitted to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) for processing.

One strength of the HSMV 83091 form is that it provides a way for individuals to legally operate their vehicle on public roads while waiting for their permanent license plates to arrive. One weakness is that the temporary license plate is only valid for a limited time period.

Related forms include the HSMV 82040 form for a certificate of title and the HSMV 82050 form for a motor vehicle dealer license application. An alternative form is the HSMV 82042 form for vehicle identification number and odometer verification.

Filling out the HSMV 83091 form accurately is important for both the applicant and the motor vehicle dealer, as it affects the ability to legally operate the vehicle on public roads. The completed form is typically submitted to the FLHSMV for processing and is stored in their database.
