Disability Parking in Montana:
Everything You Need to Know
Montana Disability Parking Laws
- You qualify if you have a permanent or temporary disability that severely limits your ability to walk, requires the use of assistive devices, or if you are legally blind.
- A licensed medical provider, such as a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner (APRN), or chiropractor, must certify your condition on Form MV 5 (Disability Permit/License Plate Application).
- Permanent placards in Montana expire every 5 years and must be renewed with updated medical certification.
- Temporary placards are valid for up to 6 months. If you still need one after it expires, you must submit a new application with medical certification.
- It is illegal to use a placard not issued to you — violations may result in fines or other penalties.
- Placards must be clearly displayed by hanging them from the rearview mirror or placing them on the dashboard when parked in accessible spaces.
- Disability parking permits are issued through the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) or your local county treasurer’s office.
Documents You’ll Need
- Completed Form MV 5 (Disability Permit/License Plate Application), signed by an approved medical provider within the last 6 months (for both new and renewal applications).
- A valid Montana driver’s license or state ID.
- Proof of vehicle ownership if applying for disability license plates.
- For mail applications, include a copy of your ID.
Veteran Exemption
- Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability may qualify for special disabled veteran license plates without submitting the medical certification form.
- VA documentation is required to prove eligibility.
Online Medical Certification
- Your medical certification must be signed and dated within the required timeframe by a licensed medical provider (physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or chiropractor).
- Some providers may offer telehealth evaluations, but the signed Form MV 5 must still be submitted to the Montana MVD or your county treasurer’s office.
Lost or Stolen Placard
- Request a replacement placard through the Montana MVD or your local county treasurer’s office.
- Replacement of permanent placards usually does not require a new medical certification if the original permit is still valid.
- Replacement of temporary placards generally does require a new medical form since medical certification is time-limited.
Permanent Placards
- Permanent placards in Montana expire every 5 years and must be renewed with a new medical certification.
- Temporary placards are valid for up to 6 months. If you still need one after expiration, you must apply again with updated medical certification.
- To replace a lost, stolen, or damaged placard, contact your local county treasurer’s office (which handles MVD services).
- Replacement processing times vary, but in-person requests are usually faster.

FAQs
How do I apply for a disability parking permit in Montana?
You’ll need a licensed medical professional to complete and sign Form MV 5 (Disability Permit/License Plate Application). If you use an online service like ParkingMD, you can complete your evaluation from home and receive the signed form within 24-48 hours.
Once you have the completed Form MV 5, submit it along with a copy of your Montana driver’s license or state ID to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) office or by mail to get your disability parking permit.
Can out-of-state visitors use their disability placards in Montana?
Yes! Montana honors valid disability placards issued by other U.S. states. Visitors can use their existing placards to access accessible parking spaces in Montana. Just make sure your placard is clearly displayed and up-to-date.
Where am I allowed to park with a Montana disability placard?
A valid Montana disability placard lets you park in any designated accessible parking spot marked with the International Symbol of Access. However, Montana does not automatically waive parking meter fees, so be sure to check local signs and rules.
Remember, your placard does not allow parking in fire lanes, loading zones, or other no-parking areas. Always follow posted regulations to avoid fines or penalties.
