Drew's Wife Posted August 28, 2013 #27 Share Posted August 28, 2013 In FL it just has a registration number on it. No name, no DOB. Just wondering if they require extra documentation if it doesn't have a name on it. In Florida you have a Parking placard registration that has your name and address, etc that matches the placard in the window. It is to keep in your wallet, and you best have it with you at all times. Be very careful when parking. I had all my necessary documents and one morning at 7AM I was at the store and came out...even though my placard was in the window. I had a $250 ticket on my van....they said my right tire was over the line a couple of inches!!!:eek: Needless to say I fought that one...still had to pay the $25 just because they had already written the ticket out. There are so many elderly and disabled here in Florida that they take this very serious....as they should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told this same info when I called Port Everglades. Anyone with experience at this port? They told me just a handicapped plate or placard will not be accepted.

jackdiamond Posted November 5, 2013 #30 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think you should take a better look at your tag.......there's more than just a registration number on it. Near the bottom there's a yellow sticker with the expiration date on it.Look a little harder and you'll see your driver's license number in small print. The last time I parked at the port of miami, they asked to see my drivers license to match the number with the tag. ;) You are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabookkeeper Posted November 11, 2013 #31 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We are cruising on the Reflection in February. How far is it from the terminal to the parking lot? If I have to be in the car when DH leaves the lot, I would like to know if I am able to walk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
