Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on July 31, 2025

Florida A&M University (FAMU) in pleased to announce a new design for its Florida vanity license plate. The updated tag can be purchased statewide at various auto tag agency locations beginning in late August.

“After much anticipation, we are excited to unveil the new FAMU vanity license plate for use in the state of Florida. This design is a fresh take on the Rattler tradition of expressing our love for FAMU in everything we say, do, and drive,” said FAMU Interim President Timothy L. Beard, Ph.D. “We invite all of the FAMUly in the Sunshine State to order the new license plate. Let’s ride with Rattler Pride and support student scholarships.”

Florida drivers who are interested in purchasing the new FAMU plate are encouraged to make an appointment to visit their local tag agency office. Personalized plates can be ordered now and existing specialty tag owners can upgrade to the new tag during their next renewal cycle.

The $25 specialty plate fee supports FAMU’s general scholarship fund.
