What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
A Florida Specialty Plate is a registration tag that affixes to your vehicle like a standard plate would. The difference is that these tags have a design that is different from the conventional ones given at the time of initial registration. You might have seen these plates driving around with themes like Endless Summer or Save the Turtles.
What is the Specialty Plate Program?
Led by Florida’s DMV (FLHSMV), the Specialty Plate program offers Florida vehicle owners the chance to upgrade from a regular plate to one of over one hundred distinct motifs. Each tag is uniquely designed and represents a different theme. Subject matters vary greatly and include:
- Sports Teams – like today’s feature: Miami Dolphins
- Environmental conservation and awareness
- Animal rescue and preservation
- Health advocacy
- First responder support
- Military endorsement
- Local and state social service programs

Aside from the theme, what makes a Specialty Plate unique?
We love this question! The true beauty of a Specialty Plate is that it’s more than just a pretty face. You see, behind each design lies a cause. Each Specialty Plate is connected to a charity, foundation, or organization of sorts. And when you decide to go for one of these fun tags, your purchase goes directly towards supporting the associated cause.
Can you give an example of a Specialty Plate-associated Charity?
Absolutely. Today’s spotlight, the Miami Dolphins Specialty Plate is an opportunity to support both the Miami Dolphins Foundation and the Florida Sports Foundation. With every upgrade to the Miami Dolphins Specialty Plate, your contribution is directed towards Education, Health, and Youth athletic programs as well as community volunteer outreach across the state of Florida. So without much effort at all, you are helping to achieve the goal of a richer, better quality of life for all the recipients of these funds.
