FAQs
How do I apply for a disability parking permit in Nevada?
To apply through an online service like ParkingMD, start by completing a quick evaluation with a licensed healthcare provider from the comfort of your home. If you're approved, your signed medical certification (Form SP-27) will be delivered to you within 24-48 hours. For placards only, mail the completed form to: Nevada DMV, 555 Wright Way, Carson City, NV 89711, or fax to (775) 684-4797. For disabled license plates, you must visit a DMV office in person with Form SP-27, current Nevada insurance, and vehicle registration.
What are the parking rules for disability placards in Nevada?
Your Nevada disability placard must be displayed on the rearview mirror when parked in designated handicapped spaces. Handicap plates and placards must be used only by the person to whom they were issued. Authorization Letters must be kept in the vehicle with plates or with the person using placards. You cannot park in spaces labeled "reserved for the exclusive use of side-loading wheelchair lift" unless your vehicle is equipped with a side-loading lift. Violations result in a minimum fine of $250, and the placard/plate owner may also be cited for allowing improper use. Disabled placards do not waive parking fees at meters or garages.
Can out-of-state visitors use their disability placards in Nevada?
Yes, Nevada recognizes valid disability placards and license plates issued by other U.S. states and countries. Visitors can use their existing placard to access accessible parking spaces while in Nevada. Just make sure it's clearly displayed and up-to-date. However, once you become a Nevada resident, you must obtain a Nevada handicap placard or plate.
