You can apply at your nearest county tag office, or write to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Division of Motor Vehicles, Neil Kirkman Building, 2900 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. How does someone obtain a disabled person parking permit? The current high was from Marion County.The statutes can be seen at Look under Title XXIII, motor vehicles. The county plates started around the late I/ early J break, depending on the county of issue (I21 ZAM was on the myflorida base from Polk County, while J04 AXN was on the old base from Martin County).
This format was discontinued in both the county name and Sunshine State series because of a computer error.
The C (which might have been ended in the middle of its run), D, E, F, G, H, I, and J series were issued entirely as county name plates, until the issue presumably ended in the early K series. The separate T series started when the original issue was in the B series. The A and B series in this format, as well as all of the other two formats, were issued as both county name and Sunshine State plates, until the state decided to split up production of the two types. This series started at A00 AAA, and was issuedĬoncurrently with two other formats (AB1 23C and A12 34B) until both others were discontinued in the middle of their runs. However, the newest issues have advanced to the PA and PB series. 2013, the series had reached BY, but no BZ plates have been reported. Series jumped from 000 0JV to 000 0BA because the K series was used for Motorcycle.Īs of Nov. Jason Taylor reports 000 3GA as a possible low. JM reports that a strange 0 (zero) is appearing on these and other plates now, skinny with rounded corners and similar to Georgia's zero. The state name appears in red block letters at the top center. A stylized American flag appears at the bottom of the plate.
There may not be any additional charge for this plate.Ī second style of "In God We Trust" plate that does require an extra fee is a full graphic with a 5 character registration to the right of "In God We Trust" in black bordered gold lettering. This type appears on the standard orange blossom base, but has "IN GOD WE TRUST" embossed at the bottom where the county name would usually appear. In an odd move, Florida is issuing two types of "In God We Trust" optional plates. Sunshine State series changed from brown stem to green stem somewhere between 488 WYM and 145 XBR. Note: JDX reports that regular Sunshine State plates in the YGF series are being used on unmarked police cars. The new series mentioned above follows 999 TZZ. The series range in the new format for Sunshine State bases is 000 HAA - 999 LZZ, then 000 VAA to 999 ZZZ, then 000 TAA to 999 TZZ. Phil reports X40 3BC with narrow dies, which is odd because wider dies started in the W series, as noted above. After the Y series, a new format began since the Z series was not used. Wider dies on this base began after W50 3CM. The Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, and Y series followed. This series started at P00 0AA (Phil reports P17 2AA). These plates are also issued as the only passenger series in Miami-Dade County (the largest in Florida), which is the only county that doesn't issue county name plates. This is done to make it more difficult to identify rental cars however, rental cars have a slightly different sticker, more or less defeating the purpose of this security measure. Each of the other counties is also issued some Sunshine State plates to mix in with their standard county name plates.
It was earlier reported that Sunshine State plates are now issued to all rental cars, but rental cars have been sighted with county name plates as well. Sunshine State plates were introduced in 1994 in response to a series of tourist killings, as tourists could be identified by special "LEASE" plates on rental cars.
This is the new series in the "Sunshine State" design.
