Florida Highway Patrol Warns Public of Strict Enforcement of Illegally Wrapped License Plates

This week, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) issued a warning to drivers with Florida license plates that have been airbrushed, vinyl-wrapped, or customized. Such alterations violate the legal tag requirements under Florida law for reflectivity and safety enhancements and can potentially impact the yellow validation stickers. Driving on a public roadway with these altered plates displayed is against the law and violates Section 320.061, Florida Statutes, which prohibits the unlawful altering of a Florida License Plate.

“I have seen several of these plates around town and wish to notify the public that it is illegal to alter a license plate,” said Collier Tax Collector Rob Stoneburner.
