Need a gift idea? Buy someone a license
plate
By NICK WALTER
Here's a gift idea for the holidays: The Florida
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
announced recently that gift certificates may be
purchased for any specialty tag in Florida.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission offers five specialty license plates.
The purchase of any of these plates helps
efforts to preserve and conserve Florida's
wildlife and natural habitats.
Specialty plates currently available through
FWC are the Conserve Wildlife plate with the
black bear logo ($15), the "Go Fishing" plate
with the largemouth bass logo ($25), "Protect
the Panther" plate ($25), "Helping Sea Turtles
Survive" plate ($23) and "Save the Manatee"
plate ($20). An additional $4.50 will be added
at the time of purchase for administrative and
certificate costs.
To purchase the license plate gift
certificates, visit any authorized tax
collector's office, and a credit will be issued
in the name of the gift recipient. When
recipients renew their license plates and pay
the regular registration fee, they can use the
gift certificate to buy the specialty tag.
Since most tags are renewed on the birth date
of the registered vehicle owner, these gift
certificates make ideal birthday presents as
well.

plates, visit
