FAQs
How do I apply for a disability parking permit in Arizona?
Applying for a disability parking placard or plate in Arizona is pretty straightforward. You’ll need a medical professional to certify your condition using Form 96‑0104. This can be your doctor or a licensed provider through an online service like ParkingMD. The great thing about telehealth is you can get evaluated from the comfort of your home.
Once your medical form is signed, just submit it along with your Arizona driver’s license or state ID to your nearest MVD office or authorized third-party provider. You can apply in person or by mail, whichever works best for you. And if you’re applying for a disability license plate, keep in mind the vehicle needs to be registered or leased in your name.
Can out-of-state visitors use their disability placards in Arizona?
Yes! Arizona honors valid disability placards and plates from other states. So if you’re visiting, your existing placard works here, allowing you to park in accessible spaces. Just make sure your placard is clearly displayed and up to date. Also, the person the placard was issued to must be in the vehicle when parked.
Keep in mind that while your placard grants access to accessible parking spots, it doesn’t automatically mean free parking at meters, those rules depend on the city or county you’re in.
Where am I allowed to park with an Arizona disability placard?
With a valid placard or plate, you can park in any space marked with the blue International Symbol of Access. Just make sure your placard is clearly visible (usually hanging from the rearview mirror), and that the person it’s issued to is in the vehicle.
There are a few important things to remember: you cannot park in fire lanes, loading zones, or “No Parking” areas, even if you have a disability placard. Also, Arizona generally does not waive meter fees for disability parking, so pay close attention to local parking signs.
Using someone else’s placard or misusing your own is illegal and could lead to fines or other penalties, so always keep your placard secure and use it responsibly.
