Out-of-state auto plates are honored until their expiration date; however, if you are in business, employed here, or have children in Florida public schools, you must secure Florida plates immediately. Plates are issued on the owner’s birthday and are renewed annually. You must secure a Florida Title Certificate in addition to your registration and license tag.

A Florida driver’s license must be secured within 30 days if you become a resident, take employment, or place children in a Florida public school. Renewal and re-examination notices are mailed by the State Division of Driver’s Licenses in Tallahassee. Compulsory no-fault insurance is required on all private passenger motor vehicles registered and licensed in Florida and on automobiles of non-residents which have been physically in the state for more than 90 days.
