All motor vehicles in the State of Florida must be registered and titled. Florida uses a metal license plate with an alpha numeric numbering system. The renewal sticker denotes the birth month and year and is displayed on the upper right hand corner of the license plate. Plates are valid for a ten year period. On the 10th year of renewal, a new plate and decal are issued to drivers.
