I have a 150cc scooter in the state of Florida. What do I need (insurance, MSO, etc) to get a tag and title?

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV) classifies your scooter as a motorcycle. According to the HSMV Motorcycle Handbook a motorcycle is a motor vehicle powered by a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters, having a sear for the used of the rider and designed to travel on not more than 3 wheels in contact with the ground. The exceptions to this definition are tractors and mopeds.

In Florida, if you wish to operate a 2 or 3 wheel motorcycle, whose engine is more than 50 cc, you are required to have a motorcycle endorsement on your driver license or a motorcycle only license.

Insurance is not required for a motorcycle in Florida but it must be titled and registered according to Florida statute 319.20. The voluntary purchase of motor vehicle liability insurance is recommended for a motorcyclist protection though. Failure to carry liability insurance can result in the loss of your driver license, tag(s) and registration if you are involved in a traffic accident, convicted of a DUI or other occurrences as defined by the FL Financial Responsibility Law.
