United States Amusement ID Program

The United States Amusement ID (USAID) Program was established by CARES and is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The program enables state and local agencies to permanently affix standardized license plates that uniquely identify amusement rides throughout the United States.

The USAID number forms the backbone of a national ridetracking system. Unlike manufacturer serial numbers, which may fade, become obscured, or repeat across different manufacturers, the USAID number provides a consistent, permanent, and universally unique identifier.

How the USAID Program Works

• State or local regulatory jurisdictions require USAID plates to be permanently attached to any ride applying for a permit.
• Rides already equipped with a USAID plate are registered under their existing number. Rides without a plate may purchase one from the regulating agency.
• Lost or damaged plates must be replaced at the owner or operator’s expense. When this occurs, the original USAID number is invalidated in the system, and a new number is assigned to the ride.
