Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez Announces Availability of New America 250 License Plate

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, Florida motorists now have a new way to take part in this historic milestone. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has announced the release of the America 250 license plate, a commemorative plate honoring the nation’s founding and the upcoming Semiquincentennial celebration.

The America 250 plate recognizes a defining moment in American history and highlights Florida’s connection to the broader national story. Designed to celebrate the country’s past while looking toward the future, the plate allows drivers to display their pride and participation in this once-in-a-generation anniversary.

Unlike specialty license plates, the America 250 plate serves as an alternative to Florida’s standard license plate, with all regular registration fees applying. Motorists may request the America 250 plate at the time of vehicle registration or renewal, making it easy to obtain during a routine visit.

The plate is available through Miami-Dade County Tax Collector offices. Residents interested in learning more about the Semiquincentennial and Florida’s role in the celebration can visit America250FL.com or updates, events, and historical resources.
