HOW TO APPLY FOR LICENSE PLATES OR PARKING PERMITS

FOR PERSONS WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

You are eligible for license plates or a parking permit for the disabled 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 for a description of qualifying disabilities.

1) 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 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 for the disabled plates. You will have to fill out a

registration application (MV-82) and pay a fee 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.

Also available from our Custom Plates office are:

Motorcycle plates with the ISA: Send the MV-664.1 application (or a doctor’s statement), a copy of your current motorcycle

registration, and a check for $7.75 payable to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, to the address below.

Personalized plates with up to six characters and the ISA for an additional charge. Please write to the DMV

Custom Plates Office, 6 Empire State Plaza, Albany NY 12228 or call (518) 474-6660.

2) 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 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 disabled parking. Fill out Part 1

of the application and attach a copy of your registration to your application. If you have custom disabled plates, bring a

picture of your plate showing the wheelchair symbol.
