For an additional fee, Florida vehicle owners can purchase a specialty license plate to commemorate an event or to show support to an organization, college, or special interest group. The majority of the funds collected for these plates are distributed to the specified agency to enhance their programs. All Florida specialty plates are approved by the state legislature.

Florida's 104 specialty plates cost anywhere from $15.00 to $25.00 more than a standard license plate.

2006 also saw some shuffling in the ranks.  Thanks to National Championships in Basketball and Football in 2006, the "University of Florida" plate took over the number one spot, selling 90,436 plates. The "Protect the Panther" sold 87,806 plates last year, but was knocked from it's top spot, ending a four year reign as number one.

The "Protect Wild Dolphins" plate finished in the number three spot for the second time in the past 4 years, finishing just over 2500 out of the number two spot with 85,214. The number four and the number five spots saw the "Helping Sea Turtles Survive" (77,856) and "Florida State University" (74,660).

Rounding out the top 10 sellers were #6 "Save the Manatee"; #7 "Tampa Bay Buccaneers"; #8 "Choose Life"; #9 "Challenger/Columbia" and #10 "Protect our Reefs"
