Florida Title

Quick question, and probably a simple answer.

I bought an RV in Florida 15 years ago and just paid it off. I am no longer a resident of FL. The lien holder "released" the title electronically, and advised me to contact FL DMV to obtain the title.

I am unfamiliar with electronic titles, and the DMV on-line tools aren't working for me (they will only send to 15 year old address?!).

Once upon a time, the lien holder would simply mail you your title. This seems more complex. Is there a simple way to get a physical paper title? Is this something that could be transferred to my current state (MA) so at least I can talk to someone in person?

Thanks!

    The only way you're going to get a title without going there is to hire someone from a title company to do if for you (power of attorney needed) or call the Florida DMV and work something out. If it's the second case, you may need a legal recorded letter sent to them.
