History
First issued	1905

The U.S. state of Florida first required its residents to register their motor vehicles in 1905. Registrants had to provide their own license plates for display until 1918, when the state began to supply plates, becoming the last of the contiguous 48 states to do so.^[1]^[2]

Passenger baseplates

1918 to 1974

In 1956, the U.S. states and Canadian provinces came to an agreement with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Automobile Manufacturers Association and the National Safety Council that standardized the size for license plates for vehicles (except those for motorcycles) at 6 inches (15 cm) in height by 12 inches (30 cm) in width, with standardized mounting holes.^[3] The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the first Florida license plate that complied with these standards.
