Specialty License Plate Vouchers
The State Legislature authorized 41 new specialty license plates during the 2020 Legislative Session which must now meet certain presale thresholds in order to go into production and be seen on Florida roads.
In order to be manufactured, each Florida organization, such as Walt Disney World or Orlando City Soccer Club, must sell at least 3,000 presale vouchers within 24 months; out-of-state universities must sell at least 4,000 presale vouchers. Once a plate has met its threshold, it will be manufactured and available to Florida drivers at our offices.

When the license plate on the presale voucher becomes authorized, customers may upgrade their license plate at the time the license plate becomes available or when the customer’s current registration is renewed.
When the license plate on the presale voucher becomes authorized, the voucher can only be used with the issuance of that specific license plate.
If a plate fails to meet the presale voucher requirements within the two-year period the plate will not be manufactured.
If the plate fails to meet the minimum presale requirements, the customer may apply the presale voucher towards a different specialty license plate or apply for a refund for the specialty license plate fee only.
The State may deauthorize a specialty license plate and discontinue its issuance if the number of valid specialty license plate registrations falls below 3,000 valid registrations or 4,000 valid registrations for out-of-state colleges or universities for at least 12 consecutive months.
If the plate associated with the presale voucher meets the voucher minimum but is subsequently deauthorized before the voucher is used, the voucher cannot be used towards a different specialty plate or be refunded.
