What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
In addition to the standard license plates that are issued at the time of initial registration or registration renewal, the state of Florida and the FLHSMV (Florida Highway Safety Motor Vehicle, aka Florida’s DMV) offers an exciting alternative, the Specialty Plate.
A Specialty Plate is uniquely designed and themed license plate that vehicle owners can decide to opt for should they want to upgrade from a conventional tag. There are over one hundred different motifs to choose from, and the options include everything from agriculture to law enforcement, from environmental awareness to animal rescue, from sports teams to educational institutions, and a lot more.
Is there an extra fee for the Specialty Plate?
Yes, there is an additional cost when you go for a special tag over a regular state-issued plate. But you’re about to see just how valuable that fee is…
Where does the extra money for the Specialty Plate go?
This is where is gets exciting! You see, these tags are not just something nice to look at or just another way to display your interest in a particular subject. Behind each theme lies a cause. Behind each design is a connected charity or organization that directly benefits each time there is a sale of that plate.
Can you give an example?
We’d love to! Take today’s plate: Florida Horse Country.
Each time someone purchases this whimsical tag, the revenue is directed to funding the rehabilitation of Florida’s at-risk youth. This is done by way of supplying relevant programs with necessary items and services such as educational materials, medical services, transportation, counseling, transportation, and scholarships. There is a specific focus on programs involving horses used for therapy and rehab for kids in need.
