It is illegal in Florida to drive with expired registration tags on your vehicle. If your tags have expired within the last six months, operating a motor vehicle with expired tags is a non-criminal minor traffic infraction. However, if your tags have been expired for more than six months, you may face stiffer penalties. A first offense carries the potential of fines and points and a second offense may carry up to sixty days in jail! While the easy solution
is to renew your tags on time, if you received a citation for expired tags and are not sure what to do, consider speaking to an experience traffic ticket attorney.
