Louisiana parking permit evaluation online Today!

• Qualifying conditions include mobility impairments that severely limit walking ability. A licensed physician must determine that the individual has a permanent or temporary condition that substantially impairs their mobility.
• A licensed physician must certify your condition on Form DPSMV 1966 (Physician’s Certification of Mobility Impairment).
• Permanent hang tags are valid for 4 years and no recertification is required upon renewal.
• Temporary hang tags are valid for 1 year from the date of issuance and require recertification to renew.
• Only one renewal is allowed for temporary impairments.
• The hang tag must be displayed clearly when parked in a designated space.
• It’s illegal to lend your hang tag to others or use someone else’s permit. Violations can result in fines ranging from $100 to $500 for a first offense, with increased penalties for repeat violations.
• Applications must be submitted to your local Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV).

To apply for, replace, or renew a Louisiana disability parking hang tag, here’s what you need:

New Permanent or Temporary Hang Tag

To apply for a new disability parking hang tag in Louisiana, you’ll need:

• Form DPSMV 1966 (Physician’s Certification of Mobility Impairment), completed and signed by a licensed physician
• A valid Louisiana driver’s license or state-issued ID card

Disabled Veteran Exemption

Disabled veterans who cannot come to a Motor Vehicle Office may qualify with alternative documentation:

• Proof of a special disabled veteran license plate or an affidavit from the Veteran Affairs Office and a separate medical examiner’s statement indicating the disabled veteran is unable to come to the office (This can replace in-person appearance for Form DPSMV 1966.)

Online Doctor’s Certification

If applying through a telehealth service, you can get your evaluation done completely online. You’ll receive:

• A signed medical certification (Form DPSMV 1966) delivered to you via email within 24-48 hours, ready for OMV submission

Lost or Stolen Hang Tag Replacement

If your hang tag is lost or stolen, you’ll need to provide:

• A statement attesting to the loss, destruction, or mutilation
• Required identification (if you have a Louisiana ID/license with photo and SSN on file, no additional ID required)

Note:

If the mobility impaired person cannot visit the OMV office in person, a representative can apply on their behalf with Form DPSMV 1966, a color photograph, required identification, and must know pertinent information about the applicant.

• Expire every 4 years on a set date determined at issuance.
• Renewal requires your current hang tag and mobility impaired identification card; no new medical certification needed.
• Renew at any local Office of Motor Vehicles.

Temporary Hang Tags

• Valid for 1 year from issuance; if mobility issues persist, only one renewal is allowed for temporary impairments with recertification required.

Replacing a Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Hang Tag

• Submit a statement attesting to the loss, destruction, or mutilation to your local Office of Motor Vehicles.
• If you have a Louisiana ID/license with photo and SSN on file, no additional identification required.
• A new hang tag will be issued for the same duration as the original hang tag.
