Who typically qualifies
States use similar medical criteria for disability parking. During your application you’ll check the situations that apply to you - common ones include:
- I can't walk 200 feet without stopping to rest
- I use a wheelchair, walker, cane, crutch, or brace
- I have a lung or breathing condition
- I use portable oxygen
- I have a heart or circulatory condition
- I have a severe arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition
- I'm legally blind or have severely limited vision
Other mobility-limiting conditions may qualify too - every application is reviewed individually, so the best way to know is to apply. And if you don’t qualify, you receive a full refund.

Who qualifies for a disability parking placard?
Each state writes its own rules, but the common threads are mobility and safety: difficulty walking a short distance without resting, using a wheelchair, walker, cane, or other aid, heart or lung conditions, portable oxygen, or severely limited vision. Our questionnaire walks you through the criteria that apply where you live, and every application is reviewed individually. We can never promise approval - but if you don't qualify, you get a full refund.
How does the review process work?
You apply online in about five minutes - tell us your state, the placard you need, and what makes parking hard for you. From there, our team reviews your application and gets your package ready - no appointments, no phone calls, no waiting rooms. You'll receive it in your dashboard within 5-7 business days, and we'll email you as soon as it's ready.
Is this legitimate? Are you the DMV?
No, and we want to be completely upfront about that. HandicapParking.org is a private company, not a government agency or DMV. Disability parking placards are issued exclusively by your state's motor-vehicle agency.
