My buddy has an expired California license plate on the front of his car, and an up-to-date Florida license plate on the back (he lives and the car is driven in Florida). In Florida you're only required to have a license plate on the back of your car. My argument is that having a *real* plate from another state on the front of your car could confuse a driver in front of you when trying to record your tag if needed. For this reason I would assume there would be some kind of law against having a *real* (non-vanity) plate from another state displayed anywhere on your car (expired or not), much less the front. Does anyone know if there is such a law in Florida? Or any other state for that matter? (He drives nation-wide in this vehicle.) Thanks in advance.

In a state that only requires a tag on the back of a vehicle, I dont think it matters what kind of tag you have on front. What difference would there be in a "real" tag and a vanity one? A car could still be identified by the tags it has on it.

I lived in Florida for 8 years and I had a 1971 "Real" Florida Tag on the front of my car, since the car was a 1971 model. I never did get a ticket, however this was before 9/11 they may be stricter now.

This is the way it is in North Carolina. You can have two different Drivers license if you live in two states. For example, in Western North Carolina we have alot of people who have retired and moved to Florida but move back up to the Mountains of NC during the summer months. However, the way it works is a vehicle can only be registered in one state. In N.C. if you move from another state you have 60 days to get your vehicle registered in N.C. A vehicle cannot be registered in two states. If you reside in two different states then you need to register that vehicle in the one where it is driven the most or the one in which you live the most. If you live in both States equally then its a coin toss. But as far as I am aware the vehicle can only be registered in one state at one time. The DMV's should have caught that when the VIN was run.
If the tag is expired then it dosen't need to be on the vehicle at all. As far as that tag is concerned it dosen't belong on anything.

you want to ask that question of your interior of sight police or the DMV. The regulation will decision from state to state yet i imagine maximum states does no longer enable plates from 2 different states being displayed at the same time.
