Welcome back to another episode of our favorite Florida Specialty Plate Spotlight Series. Today’s tag is none other than Live the Dream. With the instantly recognizable image of Martin Luther King Jr. on the front of the tag, this motif might be one of the hardest working Specialty Plates in the lineup. But before we get into the details of this design, let’s review what a Florida Specialty Plate is and what makes it unique.

What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
A Florida Specialty Plate is an automotive registration tag that is affixed to your vehicle the way any standard tag might be. As part of the FLHSMV’s Specialty Plate Program, there are over one hundred individual themes to choose from that differ from the conventional tag that is generally issued at the time of registration.
What Kind of Specialty Tag Themes Are Available?
With so many different designs to choose from, it’s hard to list them all! But here are some of the most popular motifs in the program:
- Endless Summer
- Helping Sea Turtles Survive
- Miami Heat
- Florida State University
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Walt Disney World
What Makes These Plates So Special?
We like to say that these tags are more than just a pretty face. Because behind each theme lies a foundation, a charity, a way of giving back. For every Specialty Plate that is purchased, some or all of the proceeds are directed to a worthy cause that helps some element of the community. For some plates, the beneficiaries will be animals, for others, the environment, and for others, humans.
Specialty Plate charities are often geared towards conservation, preservation, research, financial assistance, education, scholarships, rescue, rehabilitation, and more.
Who Does the Live the Dream Specialty Plate Benefit?
Today’s spotlight tag is distributed by The Dream Foundation, which then directs its proceeds to several worthy causes. Among them are:
- Sickle Cell Disease Association
- Chapman Partnership
- Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Change
Do I Need to Wait for My Registration Renewal to Order a Specialty Plate?
No! You can upgrade to one of these tags at any point during your registration period. That means that while you can opt for this fun tag at the time of renewal, you do not have to wait for your renewal date or until your plate expires. Specialty Plates are always available to you.
