I read it quickly but I believe Florida law requires the individual's DL number be on Florida-issued placards for that validation purpose.

EDIT:
320.0848(2)(a) .... One side of the placard must display the applicant’s driver license number or state identification card number along with a warning that the applicant must have such identification at all times while using the parking permit....
