Florida requires a repair shop to hold a state licence or registration: the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services issues it under Fla. Stat. § 559.904(1), and it is not collision-specific: the same credential covers general repair. That is the state credential behind the Dixie County numbers above; the register is the fourteen states that license body shops.
