Ontario licence plate
Posted date : Dec 15, 2025.

I am writing to ask your opinion on whether I am permitted to remove my front Ontario licence plate while vacationing in Florida. As Florida does not require front plates, I was wondering if it would be acceptable to remove mine during my stay. My reason for considering this is to potentially reduce the risk of damage to my vehicle while it is parked. I would appreciate your guidance on whether this would be allowed under Ontario regulations while temporarily out of province.

Ed.: If the front plate is required in your home jurisdiction (Ontario), then you will need to keep it on the vehicle even while visiting Florida, otherwise you will be breaking the law.
