Florida Specialty Plate Spotlight Series: The Ag Tag

Good morning, esteemed readers of the eTags blog. Welcome! One of the most frequent questions we field here at the eTags headquarters is this: Can I get a Florida Specialty Plate from eTags?

The answer is a resounding Yes! Florida Specialty Plates are one of our favorite things ever. With the Florida DMV (FLHSMV) offering over one hundred different themes to choose from, you’re bound to find the design that strikes your fancy. But our affinity for Specialty Plates is not just because they’re cool to look at and set you apart from the crowd, but because they do a whole lot of good. What do we mean by that?

Well, we like to say that the Specialty Plate is more than just a pretty face.

You see, behind each motif there lies a cause, a charity. And with each purchase of a particular plate, the proceeds are then directed to the foundation or organization that is supported by the purchasing of that tag.

Let’s take today’s spotlight feature to explain this further: The Agriculture Specialty Plate.

Fondly referred to amongst those familiar with the plate as “The Ag Tag,” this design is the face of the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom (FAITC), a non-profit organization whose mission it is to provide Florida PreK through 12^th grade students with education, awareness, and knowledge of agriculture and natural resources. It also aims to focus on the professional development of the teachers whose responsibility it is to impart this knowledge to their students.

For every Ag Tag that is purchased (there are currently 19,331 in circulation in the state of Florida) the profits allow for the following work to be supported:

• Hosting Florida’s Agriculture Literacy Day Program, in which thousands of students are read to by industry volunteers
• Awarding over $1,000,000 in related grants (school garden, teacher, and volunteer) since the start of the program
• Sponsoring fifteen or more workshops and/or webinars per year
• Producing and sharing free agriculture themed educational resources
• Facilitating the attendance of teachers at national AITC conferences

So for the modest sum of $25, you’re not only getting this nature-forward, beautiful Specialty Plate, but you are also backing a truly important cause that is very dear to the Sunshine State.  It’s a win-win situation, right? We think so.

Now, how do you go about getting one of these beauties on your car, truck, or SUV? It’s simply, actually.  Just pop on over to our handy site (etags.com) and select Florida as your state of residence from the drop-down menu. From there, you can choose the Specialty Plate option that best suits you. You’ll notice that you can either renew or just get the Specialty Plate on its own.

This is because you can opt to upgrade to a Specialty Plate at any time during your registration. You don’t have to wait for your renewal period, nor do have to wait until you register a new vehicle for the first time. These fun tags are yours to order whenever you get the notion.

Oh, and you can personalize them too. So, say you want to support the agriculture project and also wanted to add your own flair by making your plate read “EARTH,” or “GAIA.”  As long as the DMV approves your alphanumeric combo, you can personalize to heart’s desire.

The process is quick and easy: by simply following the prompts on our site, you can have your order placed within minutes. That said, if you need a hand at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out to our stellar customer support team. Because as always, at eTags, we’re here to help!
