The yellow one?
If so, yes. Shows month and year of expiration. Edit: should also have the corresponding tag number printed on it. Edit #2: In the event I misunderstood the question, Florida issues a paper registration in addition to the sticker. |

yes it is, and under that is the actual tag number, on the sticker, so you can't steal someone else's sticker.

With a new or renewed tag the paper registration comes with the yellow tag decal. By law you must have paper registration portion (or copy) and the affixed decal when driving.

My first car I had to get the registration myself, & I remember a sticker came with that for the plates.
My second car I got through a leasing service and the plates that were sent with it came with a sticker on them. So I'm wondering if that is a registration or if I have to apply for a new one. I do not have a paper one for the second car |

Also, the proper place for the sticker is in the upper right hand portion of the tag. Subsequent years do not go in the upper or bottom left, bottom right, or middle. Simply place over the old sticker, or remove old sticker and place in the same spot.

Makes me want to punch kittens every time I see decals all over the tag. |

Violation of FS 320.06(1)(b)-------------------------- FS 320.06 Registration certificates, license plates, and validation stickers generally.— (1)(a) Upon the receipt of an initial application for registration and payment of the appropriate license tax and other fees required by law, the department shall assign to the motor vehicle a registration license number consisting of letters and numerals or numerals and issue to the owner or lessee a certificate of registration and one registration license plate, unless two plates are required for display by s. 320.0706, for each vehicle so registered. (b)1. Registration license plates bearing a graphic symbol and the alphanumeric system of identification shall be issued for a 10-year period. At the end of the 10-year period, upon renewal, the plate shall be replaced. The department shall extend the scheduled license plate replacement date from a 6-year period to a 10-year period. The fee for such replacement is $28, $2.80 of which shall be paid each year before the plate is replaced, to be credited toward the next $28 replacement fee. The fees shall be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund. A credit or refund may not be given for any prior years’ payments of the prorated replacement fee if the plate is replaced or surrendered before the end of the 10-year period, except that a credit may be given if a registrant is required by the department to replace a license plate under s. 320.08056(8)(a). With each license plate, a validation sticker shall be issued showing the owner’s birth month, license plate number, and the year of expiration or the appropriate renewal period if the owner is not a natural person. The validation sticker shall be placed on the upper right corner of the license plate. The license plate and validation sticker shall be issued based on the applicant’s appropriate renewal period. The registration period is 12 months, the extended registration period is 24 months, and all expirations occur based on the applicant’s appropriate registration period. A vehicle that has an apportioned registration shall be issued an annual license plate and a cab card that denote the declared gross vehicle weight for each apportioned jurisdiction in which the vehicle is authorized to operate. ---------------------------- AND>....... ---------------------------- FS 316.605 Licensing of vehicles.— 1(1) Every --------------------vehicle, at all times while driven, stopped, or parked upon any highways, roads, or streets of this state, shall be licensed in the name of the owner thereof in accordance with the laws of this state unless such vehicle is not required by the laws of this state to be licensed in this state and shall, except as otherwise provided in s. 320.0706 for front-end registration license plates on truck tractors and s. 320.086(5) which exempts display of license plates on described former military vehicles, display the license plate or both of the license plates assigned to it by the state, one on the rear and, if two, the other on the front of the vehicle, each to be securely fastened to the vehicle outside the main body of the vehicle not higher than 60 inches and not lower than 12 inches from the ground and no more than 24 inches to the left or right of the centerline of the vehicle, and in such manner as to prevent the plates from swinging, and all letters, numerals, printing, writing, and other identification marks upon the plates regarding the word "Florida,” the registration decal, and the alphanumeric designation shall be clear and distinct and free from defacement, mutilation, grease, and other obscuring matter, so that they will be plainly visible and legible at all times 100 feet from the rear or front. Except as provided in s. 316.2085(3), vehicle license plates shall be affixed and displayed in such a manner that the letters and numerals shall be read from left to right parallel to the ground. No vehicle license plate may be displayed in an inverted or reversed position or in such a manner that the letters and numbers and their proper sequence are not readily identifiable. Nothing shall be placed upon the face of a Florida plate except as permitted by law or by rule or regulation of a governmental agency. Technically speaking, even the border frame on any Florida plate is illegal. Most of the time, we tend to ignore it or have more important calls to tend to, but if the driver is driving like a jackass or coming from a known drug area, covering the license plate is enough legal ground and probable cause for me to pull him/her over. Now if they have a plastic shield over their license plate (clear, tinted, frosted, or one of those view-at-an-angle plates), I will automatically write them a ticket (no warning)... and depending on how respectful will depend on if I make them take it off right then and there, make them come back with tools and take it off, or if I let them go and they can take it off at home/work. If they are a complete jackass about it, I won't let them drive back on the road until the cover comes off. So far, most of my tickets have been warnings because I believe people make mistakes and in this current financial world, it's rough. Plus 98% of the time I'm in a good mood. If you are nice to me, I'll be nice to you... but anything intentional, disrespect, and the big one... lying... that is an automatic ticket. If the person is a big jackass, I will write multiple tickets. |

For a year my wife's car had my sticker and I had hers because I wasn't paying attention to the plate number on the sticker...
No harm came of it but I didn't notice until I was putting the newer stickers on... |
