Effective September 23rd, updated Florida statutes prohibit the issuance of new plates or the transfer of vehicle registrations for individuals using a passport as identification. If you present a passport, you are prohibited from purchasing a new plate, transferring a plate to a newly purchased vehicle, or transferring a plate between vehicles.

However, this restriction does not prevent you from obtaining ownership of a vehicle in Florida using a passport. You may own the vehicle, but you cannot legally register a new Florida plate to it. If you already have a registered plate on your vehicle, you are still permitted to renew your registration for one or two years.

Please ensure compliance with these regulations to avoid any issues with your vehicle registration.
