SAFE Designation

safe designation

The SAFE designation, created by the Florida Legislature, allows individuals or parents and guardians to voluntarily add a designation to their vehicle registration record indicating that a driver or passenger may have a condition that could affect communication or interaction during an emergency or traffic stop.

The designation can apply to individuals with a variety of medical or developmental conditions, including autism, Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, hearing or vision impairment, and other conditions that may affect communication or behavior in stressful situations.

You can request the SAFE designation through the Miami Dade County Tax Collector’s Office. The designation is completely voluntary and can be added or removed at no cost.

Residents interested in learning more about the SAFE designation or requesting the designation can contact the Miami Dade County Tax Collector’s Office or visit one of its service centers.
