SunPass Toll-by-Plate Misread / Plate Mismatch
Florida Toll-by-Plate uses optical character recognition cameras that frequently misread O/0, I/1, B/8, and similar characters. If the plate, vehicle make/model, or color in the violation notice does not match your vehicle, the invoice is invalid and must be voided. SunPass provides a formal dispute portal and hearing right.
Legal basis

Sample appeal wording
TO: SunPass Violation Enforcement, P.O. Box 31241, Tampa, FL 33631-3241 RE: Invoice/Toll Enforcement Invoice # [INVOICE NUMBER] I dispute the above invoice. The violation image, attached as Exhibit A, depicts a [COLOR] [MAKE] [MODEL] bearing plate [PLATE-AS-IMAGED]. My vehicle, registered to plate [YOUR PLATE], is a [COLOR] [MAKE] [MODEL] (registration attached as Exhibit B). The plate characters and/or vehicle do not match. The OCR system has likely misread [O→0 / I→1 / B→8 / similar]. Under §316.1001, Fla. Stat., the registered owner is only liable when the toll-bearing vehicle is in fact theirs. Because the imaged vehicle is not mine, I respectfully request the invoice be voided and any administrative fees refunded. [NAME] / [DATE] / Phone: [###] Filed online via sunpass.com/dispute on [DATE].
