What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
A Florida Specialty Plate is uniquely designed license plate offered by the Florida DMV (known as the FLHSMV) in addition to the standard tag that is issued at the time of vehicle registration or renewal. There are over one hundred different themes to choose from, with motifs ranging from local sports teams to agriculture, animal rescue to health awareness, law enforcement to environmental preservation. Meaning, if you wanted to express a bit of creativity on your car, show your connection to a cause, or flaunt your hobby, the Specialty Plate is the way to go.
What kinds of Specialty Plate designs are available?
Too many to list here! But some of the most popular themes are Endless Summer, Helping Sea Turtles Survive, University of Florida, Miami Heat, Florida State University, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Remember, there are over one hundred designs, so this very short list is in no way indicative of all the styles available!
What makes the Specialty Plate Special?
We’re so glad you asked. You see, these tags are more than just a pretty face. Behind each theme lies a cause. Each design is the representative for a charity or foundation that directly benefits from the sale of the plate. So, for example, if you were to opt for the Miami Heat tag, your purchase helps support the Miami Heat Charitable Fund, which, in turn, directs its proceeds to causes like education, youth sports and development, the arts, homelessness, health research and more.

I want my plate to say Ghost, normal plate just the name.
Have you applied for a personalized plate, if not you can do so with eTags online.
I’d like to trade in a personalized plate for a regular FL ‘ol Florida plate, but I can’t find anything online re: how to do this. Any pointers?
You can renew your registration or replace your license plate online, then call eTags customer service to request standard plate
If I decide to order a specialty plate after I’ve already renewed a standard plate, will the new specialty plate arrive with a new sticker?
Yes, anytime you get a new plate, including a specialty plate, you get a new sticker as well as a new registration card.
Im a very ill person my landlord told me to move mycar or the city was going to tow it. My car Had a title in my name and is insured the only thing it need is to be reregister and I have the appointment. They said in the phone they dont do walk in.I told my landlor he didnt care so I went today to the MV in West Palm in wheelchair and my oxigen they said the sam thing but I told themthey gave me 4 location when I asked for a temporary tag I went to location to see out of order the other 3 wanted me to giv them a tag number but I didnt have a tag so now Im stuck with the fear that my car is going to be removed. Motor Vehicle offices cant help you when you most need. What a shame!
