Once you have chosen a desired plate s , see the Motor Vehicle Registrations page to learn how to apply for a license plate and registration. Standard license plates are metal plates governed by section The below county designation plate is also considered a standard license plate; however, it is only available in some participating counties.
For your protection, please remember license plates belong to the state and must be returned if the decal on the plate is unexpired and insurance is not maintained. Florida law provides for a variety of legal uses of temporary license plates.
Today, only two states allow digital license plates: California and Arizona. That's slow progress for Reviver , which formed in to change how the old, metal-based automotive technology works. But things are about to change, and is when the company will finally step down hard on the "go ahead, try it out" accelerator. That's according to Neville Boston, Reviver founder and chief strategy officer, who told Car and Driver that his digital Rplates will be available in Michigan by the beginning of the second quarter of Boston and his team met with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson at an auto show a few years ago to discuss approving these non-traditional plates, and it wasn't difficult since, in Boston's words, Benson is a technologist.
The legislation is taken care of, and now it's just a matter of integrating Rplates with the Secretary of State's systems and databases.
Integration is required because the Rplates do more than just take the letters and numbers of your license plate and turn them into pixels on a digital ink screen, similar to a black-and-white Kindle. By making the license plate a screen, Rplate lets people display their own approved messages.
The plate can also warn people that the car it's on has been stolen, or maybe to show an Amber or Silver Alert, if the state wants that functionality, Boston said. Rplate users can also pay their registration fees through Reviver, making annual renewals a paperless affair. Those two aspects to the Rplate mean it has two costs, the price of the screen itself and then the subscription connection. Everything's a bit pricier with the wired Rplate Pro, which is the more powerful option that works best for fleets because it can offer telematics options through its built-in GPS system.
Plus installation, of course. Currently, a little over Rplates are running on the roads in California and Arizona, and Boston said he hopes to roughly double that number by the end of Looking ahead, between eight and 10 other states could approve the digital technology next year—Michigan first, then likely Georgia and Texas and others Boston declined to name—which is why the company claims there could be , or so in use by the end of Expansion will also be driven by dealership groups Reviver is working with to preload the battery-operated Rplate on some vehicles on their lots, as well as colleges and universities that will partner up to sell digital versions of the popular school plates.
All of this growth will move Reviver along to the next big phase of its plans: cars with built-in digital plates. That'll take a while, but you know it's coming.
