The disability plate or placard provides the person with a disability the privilege of parking in specially marked parking spaces provided for the exclusive use of persons with a disability. The person with a disability must be the driver or a passenger in the vehicle when the disability parking space is used. Disability plates are assigned to, and may only be displayed on a specific vehicle registered or leased in the person with a disability’s name.

Recipients must complete a Disability-Hearing Impaired Plate/Placard Application or have one on file.
