Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

I recently moved to Florida. In order to register my car I need to retitle it. I have been told that I need to pay a large fee because there is some kind of extra amount charged if I have not had a tag in Florida before. I grew up here and my first three cars were registered here. I produced a photograph that had a picture of the back of my VW with the tag clearly showing. I was told "it is not in the system". How can I get help with this matter? It seems that they just don't want to go to the trouble to look it up in older records.
