All Florida License Plates Are Revealing

There are a variety of designs available for drivers that want to place Florida license plates on vehicles. The plates can convey messages but the wording is restricted to seven spaces if the person wants to place the metal emblem on an automobile. Motor cycle riders are allowed to create a plate with a unique message, but the wording must fit in six spaces.

Most colleges and universities throughout the State of Florida offer students the chance to show school spirit, but these specialized options are available only if a special fee is paid annually. These fees are in addition to the registration fees that are charged by State agencies. The fees are then distributed to a fund set up for the college or university that is meant to fund many types of academic enhancements.

Certain wildlife groups have created images for use on these metal tags because the funds earned from each sale will be used to help endangered species or bring attention to animal species that people like to hunt. These specialty tags will keep the image of threatened species in full view of the public, and provide funds that are needed to care for those in captivity.

Some causes that are supported by the funds raised through the sale of the specialty licenses will support health care issues. Some residents will choose to rally for support of life giving organizations such as the American Red Cross, or the American Cancer Society and many others, by creating designs that focus on the organizations mission.

Several plate styles are offered to the public that allow individuals to show support for efforts made military personnel worldwide. Some tags represent participation in a campaign such as identifying a veteran that served in the Vietnam War, or Operation Desert Storm. The license tag can display graphical emblems that denote which branch of the service a veteran joined.

Many residents want to bear slogans that honor Florida, better known as The Sunshine State. Other residents want to keep registrations restricted to the county where the vehicle is registered so only the county is displayed at the bottom of the car tag. Some people are adamant about giving honor to God and will select the slogan, In God We Trust to personalize the plate.

The graphic images that can be used on the licensed tags can be previewed on the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles site. This government site offers a comprehensive listing of all tag designs that are available for purchase through the entire year. Users can choose to create a personalized version that bears a family name or a message, and those selected can be renewed

Florida license plates earn revenue for the State which can be used to pay for expenses on construction projects throughout the area. Residents can use the graphic images to bring attention to many worthwhile causes. Some tag designs will generate support for medical research and some groups will use the funds earned through the sale of the tags to pay for research centered on fighting many diseases.
