Renew your temporary disability placard

If you have a temporary disability placard (issued for a period between 2 and 24 months) and need an extension or a status change from temporary to permanent, you will need to submit a new application for disabled parking 4-6 weeks before your expiration date of your current placard. 

If the expiration date and placard number are in red ink the placard is temporary and will need to be renewed if still needed.  If the ink is black, you already have a permanent disability placard, and a new placard will automatically be mailed to you when it expires. 

If you have a permanent disability placard (expires every 5 years), the RMV will mail your new placard 2 weeks before your current placard expires. Upon receipt of your new placard, please immediately return your expired placard by mail to:
