Add your plates
Up to 20 personalized plates, 3 to 7 letters and numbers each. GATOR, R8 FAN, anything.
We watch around the clock
Our checker runs every minute against Florida's registry, day and night, weekends too, working through every plate on your list.
You hear first
Florida releases plates in one batch around midnight, and our email lands then rather than in the morning: most grabs happen in weekday office hours, but they don't all wait. You reserve it at your county tax collector.
Pick a size
Every plan: checked around the clock, email the moment a plate is free, swap plates any time. Monthly, cancel any time.
Secure checkout by Stripe. Cancel and your list runs to the end of the month you paid for; your plates stay saved either way.
Questions
- Do you reserve the plate for me?
- No. We tell you the moment it's free. You reserve it at your county tax collector, in person or online where the county allows it.
- When do plates become available?
- Florida releases them in one batch just before midnight Eastern, most of them on a weekday — about 7 in 10 lately. About 2 in 3 grabs happen on a weekday between 8 AM and 5 PM ET, but we have seen one at 12:53 AM. Our alert gives you the head start either way.
- How do you know when a release happened?
- We only claim a release time when the plate was checked within the half hour before it, which is why the midnight figure rests on 31 releases rather than all 439. The rest we find on the next sweep, and you are emailed either way.
- Do released plates stay free?
- Most do, but not the ones people want. Of the 439 plates released since March, 93 have been taken back and 342 are still sitting there. Look at it the other way: only 342 of the 190,509 plates free today were ever taken by anyone — almost everything free was simply never wanted. That is why it pays to watch for yours by name.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- If a payment fails, your list switches off right away. If you cancel, it runs to the end of the month you paid for. Either way your plates stay saved, and restarting a plan switches them back on.
- Can I change plans?
- Any time from your billing page. Move to a smaller plan and your oldest plates stay on; the rest pause. Nothing is deleted.
- Which states?
- Florida only for now.
- Are you part of the DMV?
- No. PlateRegistry is independent and not affiliated with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Payments go through Stripe.
