Before we get into the specifics of this particular plate, let’s talk a bit about what makes this program so special.
- Specialty Plates are more than just a pretty face. In addition to the over one hundred different designs and themes made available by the FLHSMV (Florida’s DMV), each motif is representative of something important. Behind each creative expression is a charity, foundation, or organization dedicated to doing good. And when you decide to purchase a Specialty Plate, the extra fees you pay to show the world your affiliation to a specific sports team, educational institution, health awareness, environmental preservation (and a lot more), are directed to the cause associated with the tag. It’s a simple and fun way to give back and support something you believe in.
- As a Florida resident and vehicle owner, you can choose to order a Specialty Plate at any time. You do not have to wait for your registration period to be up for renewal, nor do you have to wait until it’s time to replace your plates or buy a new car. Whenever the mood strikes, Specialty Plates are available to you.
- It’s easy to upgrade to a Florida Specialty Plate online. With eTags.com, you can submit your order for a cool new tag from the comfort and convenience of any wifi-enabled device whenever you feel like it. Simply head over to our homepage, select Florida as your state from the drop-down menu, and then choose the Specialty Plate option that best suits you.
- You’ll notice that you have the choice to personalize your plate in this menu. That’s because in addition to enjoying your favorite hobby or passion, you can make it really personal by coming up with your own alphanumeric combination instead of the DMV-generated numbers and letters. As long as your selection is approved by the FLHSMV, you can have your Specialty Plate and personalize it too!
Now, what happens when you decide to purchase the Indian River Lagoon plate? Well, your financial support is directed to the restoration efforts of the One Lagoon Organization.
