Parking Permits for People with
Disabilities
Anyone who wishes to obtain a parking permit must apply to the issuing
agent in the city, town or village where he/she lives.
The applicant and the applicant's
physician must complete
NYS Form MV664.1, Application for Parking
Permit. Requests on physician's letterhead will also be
accepted. The medical conditions specified on the
application form are the same criteria found in the
federal guidelines for the parking permit program.
For further information and forms you may visit the
following website:

Unless there are exceptional
circumstances, only one permit will be issued to each
applicant.
New penalties are in effect for the
program. The disabled person must always be with the
vehicle displaying the permit.
There is no charge for the permit.
License plates for the disabled
person's vehicle are also available and can be obtained
from the NYS Motor Vehicle Department. The same NYS Form
MV664.1 is required.
Permits can be issued for a Temporary
Disability (up to 6 months) or for a Permanent
Disability (up to 5 years). The applicant must return to
the issuing clerk for a replacement permit. |
