Putting the Law Into Context
Florida’s new statute focuses on the visibility and legibility of license plates, specifically addressing products designed to obscure plate information for the purpose of evading law enforcement. This is consistent with regulations nationwide: no state permits a frame or accessory to block the state name, registration decals, or plate numbers.
The relevant portion of the law states:
“A person may not apply or attach a substance, reflective matter, illuminated device, spray, coating, covering, or other material onto or around any license plate which interferes with the legibility, angular visibility, or detectability of any feature or detail on the license plate or interferes with the ability to record any feature or detail on the license plate.”
!The statute defines prohibited devices as those that obstruct or interfere with recording essential identifying features, including the state name, plate number, and validation sticker.
“Interfering with the ability to record the primary features or details, including the license plate number or validation sticker, on the license plate.”

Why Your Selected Frames Remain Fully Compliant
All frames we manufacture utilize an upper open-corner design that keeps the plate’s essential features unobstructed. At most, a frame may cover non-essential elements—such as a state slogan or website—which are considered advertising and not part of the regulated identifying information.
For added reassurance, we also offer a slimline frame option, which further minimizes coverage and is available with waived art setup fees.
