Disability Plates and Placards

Through Medical Affairs, the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) issues special license plates and placards to people living with disabilities who meet certain medical qualifications.

Disability plates and placards allow people living with disabilities to park vehicles in designated handicap parking spaces. They also allow people living with disabilities to park at meters without paying fees or penalties.

Disability license plates are issued for cars or motorcycles.

Placards are displayed on the rearview mirror , and are issued to qualified residents on either a temporary or permanent basis.

Learn how to apply for, renew, and replace your disability plate or placard.
