Disabled persons must have either a current Florida driver's license or a Florida identification card issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. An exemption is issued by the certifying authority, if the disabled person is physically unable to visit or be transported to a driver's license office to get this documentation. All disabled persons must provide the Application for Disabled Person Parking Permit (form HSMV 83039).
The permanent parking permit is given for a period of up to four years, and expires on the applicant's birthday. Temporary parking permits are issued for up to six months as specified by the certifying authority.
Subsequent or additional permanent parking permits may be given to individuals who are certified as a quadriplegic, or are frequent travelers as certified on form HSMV 83039.
Organizations that provide regular transportation service to disabled people must provide either a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEID) number or a Florida sales tax registration number to be placed on the disabled parking permit. Organizations may be issued as many parking permits as they have vehicles providing transportation to disabled people.
The disabled person parking permit must be hung on the rearview mirror of the vehicle used to transport a disabled person when parked in a designated disabled person parking space.
Please bear in mind that the disabled parking permit is attached to your driver's license or identification card, not your vehicle. You can use it in any vehicle if the owner of the parking placard is present.
Disabled person parking permits are given to people who are medically certified to have long-term, permanent or temporary mobility impairment, or who are certified legally blind or temporarily sight-impaired.
