But the really cool thing about Specialty Plates is that in addition to being a fun way to fly your individual flag, they are meaningful as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We like to say: Florida Specialty Plates are more than just a pretty face.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You see, behind each original tag design there lies a cause.\u00a0 Say, for example, you love manatees and choose the Save the Manatee plate for your car, truck or SUV.\u00a0 You\u2019re not just showing the world that you have an affinity for the gentle giant water creatures. In fact, you are supporting Florida\u2019s programs to rescue, rehabilitate, and preserve both manatees and their natural environment.<\/p>\n<p>How, you ask?\u00a0 Well, with each Specialty Plate purchased, a big portion (nearly all) of the proceeds goes directly to the charities and foundations associated with the plates theme. So in the case of the Save the Manatee plate, your choosing that design means that your money goes straight towards funding all the programs that support the lives and wellbeing of the manatee.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25103 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"201\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-320x214.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-560x374.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1920x1282.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_554353843_Editorial_Use_Only-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 302px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 302\/201;\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25104 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"Florida Personalized Specialty Plates\" width=\"302\" height=\"202\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-2048x1366.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-320x214.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-560x374.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-1920x1281.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_90076208-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 302px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 302\/202;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meaning, that by the simple act of upgrading to Specialty Plate from a regular tag, your love for an animal (or team, or school, or research project, or law enforcement) immediately translates into your contribution to its welfare.

The Institute has specialized in focusing on both the acoustic behavior and the social vocalizations of these great mammals.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to scientific studies, the Institute also responds to whale strandings. In fact, FAU\u2019s Harbor Branch has a dedicated on-call unit that operates 24\/7 solely for emergency whale strandings and rescues.

From there you can choose \u201cRenew + Specialty and\/or Personalized Plate\u201d OR \u201cGet Specialty and\/or Personalized Plate\u201d from the list of services.\u00a0 But wait, you say, what\u2019s all this about something Personalized?<\/p>\n<p>Ah ha! This might just be the never-ending gift! Not only can you opt for a cool tag with a unique design that supports your favorite cause, but you can also personalize that tag. So if \u201cFree Willy\u201d has been your jam for the last umpteen years (we\u2019re trying to not age ourselves here!), go on and make that your plate number.\u00a0 Or if you love humpbacks and need to flaunt it, throw together something like HB4LIFE.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you, friend.\u00a0 As long as the DMV approves of your letter\/number combo, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<h2>So, let\u2019s recap here:<\/h2>\n<p>At any time during your registration period (yep \u2013 whether your registration is up for renewal or not, if you\u2019re registering a vehicle for the first time, or whenever the fancy strikes you) you can opt to upgrade to a Specialty Plate. And with the purchase of this tag, you are automatically giving back. And not only that, but you can personalize it as well.\u00a0 And the eTags process could not be simpler \u2013 come see for yourself.
