What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
A Florida Specialty plate is a unique registration tag that is offered by the Florida DMV (known as the FLHSMV) in addition to the standard tags that come with initial registrations and renewals.
What is different about the Specialty Plate?
A lot. To begin with, each tag in the collection (there are over one hundred available) is unlike any other. There is a whole host of different designs and themes, all representing varying subjects. There are plates representing sports teams, others showcasing a hobby, some championing agriculture, many depicting the rescue and preservation of animals, or the acknowledgement of military or law enforcement. There are too many to list here, but we’re pretty sure that no matter your interest, there is a Specialty Plate for you.
Can you give me a specific example of a Florida Specialty Plate?
Yes! For example, take the plate featured in today’s spotlight: The Everglades River of Grass plate. It depicts a bird and plants local to the Everglades: a Roseate Spoonbill and mangroves.

So the Specialty Plate is just a fun version of registration tags?
It is so much more than that. You see, each design is representative of a particular cause: a foundation, an organization, a way to give back to a certain group of people, to a habitat, a species, research, rescue, and more. Today’s plate is directly connected to the South Florida Water Management District, and the revenue from the sale of the tag goes to funding their efforts surrounding Everglades restoration and protection projects.
Meaning, that when you purchase this plate, you are actually contributing the ongoing work facilitated by the South Florida Water Management District. It’s really that easy. You opt for a Specialty Plate and voila…you are giving to a worthy cause.
