HOW TO APPLY FOR A PARKING PERMIT OR LICENSE PLATES,

FOR PERSONS WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

You are eligible for a special parking permit or license plates if you are a New York State resident who has one or more severe disabilities

that impair your mobility. See Part 2 of the MV-664.1 (Application for a Parking Permit or License Plates, for Persons With Severe

Disabilities) for a description of qualifying disabilities.

1) If you are applying for the parking permit:

NOTE: DO NOT SEND YOUR APPLICATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES. DMV does NOT issue parking permits.

(a) A parking permit may be issued for either a permanent or temporary disability.

(b) You do not have to be a driver, or the registered owner of a vehicle, to get a parking permit. Children who have a qualifying disability are

eligible for permits at any age, as are persons who are legally blind. Permits are issued in the name of the person with the disability.

(c) Fill out Part 1 of the application (MV-664.1). Have your physician or podiatrist complete Part 2 of the application and return it to

you. NOTE: The need for medical certification may be waived by the issuing agent if you have an obvious, visually-identifiable

disability (such as the loss of a leg) OR if you already have license plates for persons with severe disabilities. Fill out Part 1 of the

application and attach a copy of your registration to your application. If you have custom plates for persons with severe disabilities,

bring a photo of your plate showing the wheelchair symbol.

(d) You must take your completed application to the issuing agent in the area where you live. Also, if you have a NYS driver

license or an ID card issued by NYS DMV, bring it with you when you apply for the permit.

Call your local city, town or village hall to find out where the nearest permit issuing

agent is located. Most city, town or village clerks, and some police departments, issue permits. Although most agents

accept the MV-664.1, some have their own application form, and not all agents issue permits for temporary disabilities.

residents must send the MV-664.1 application to the NYC Department of Transportation, 28-11 Queens Plaza

North, 8th Floor, Long Island City, NY 11101-4008, or call (718) 433-3100. If you already have plates for persons with severe

disabilities, complete Part 1 and attach a copy of your registration. If you have custom plates for persons with severe disabilities,

attach a photo of your plate showing the ISA. Please read important information about “PARKING IN NEW YORK CITY” on page 2.

2) If you are applying for license plates:

(a) Your disability must be permanent.

(b) The vehicle on which the special plates will be used must be registered to the person with the disability, whether or not

that person drives. You must be at least 16 years old to have a vehicle registered in your name.

(c) Fill out Part 1 of the MV-664.1 application. Have your physician or podiatrist complete Part 2 of that application and return it to you.

NOTE: The need for a medical certification may be waived by the Motor Vehicles office if you are permanently disabled and if you

have an obvious, visually-identifiable disability (such as the loss of a leg OR if you received a parking permit for the disabled within

the past year). Fill out Part 1 of the application and attach a copy of your permit application showing the medical certification, or

doctor’s statement, and bring your permit with you.

(d) You can obtain the plates at any Motor Vehicles office. Bring the completed application with you.

If you are registering your vehicle for the first time, you must provide all of the items required for an original registration,

including the proof of disability.

If you already have plates on your car, bring them with you to exchange them for plates for persons with severe disabilities. You

will have to fill out a registration application (MV-82) and pay $15.00 for the new plates that show the International Symbol of

Access (ISA). If this transaction is done at any time other than when you renew the vehicle registration, a $3.00 transaction fee

will be charged.

Personalized plates with up to six characters and the ISA are available from DMV’s Custom Plates office. Call (518) 402-4838.
