Blue Angels license plate is cleared for takeoff

(OBA®) - NAS Pensacola -  It’s official, the Blue Angels license plate is cleared for takeoff! More than 3,000 Blue Angels license plate vouchers have been sold. Thanks to you we have reached the milestone needed to put the plate into production.


The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles should place the plate into production sometime after the first of the year. The production process will happen over the coming months then the plates will be distributed to the various county tax collector offices throughout the state. For status updates on the plate production and distribution, please visit www.BlueAngelsPlate.org.


If you purchased a voucher for the Blue Angel plate, your voucher is being held electronically in the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles database under your name and driver license number. If you purchased the voucher for someone else, the voucher is being held under the recipient’s name and driver license number.


Until the physical plates are available, Florida drivers can still purchase a voucher in person at a local Tax Collector’s Office or Tag Agency or online at https://bit.ly/3neRg8U. The online service is available to all Florida residents residing in any county.
