No, and the reason for that is simple: Florida ended its smog check or emissions testing program in 2000.

So, when you're applying for a FL title or vehicle registration, you don't need to be concerned about a smog or emissions inspection. But, you will need to provide a bill of sale or sales receipt when applying for vehicle titles.

VIN Inspection

In fact, you don't need to worry about any sort of inspection, unless you're trying to obtain a registration or title transfer for an out-of-state used vehicle. In that case, you must complete a vehicle identification number (VIN) inspection. That's fairly easy to do; you can even have a tax collector's office employee (that's where you go to get your car title or registration) complete the VIN inspection for you.
