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. 

You will also need certification from a medical professional that the placard needs to be extended or made permanent. 

If you already have a permanent disability placard, 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:
