Am I eligible to apply for a disabled parking placard?

To determine eligibility for a disabled parking placard in Alabama, several criteria must be met. Individuals who have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly impairs their mobility are eligible to apply. Disabilities can include limited or no use of one or both legs, inability to walk without the use of a cane, wheelchair, or other assistive device, as well as conditions resulting in severe mobility limitations. Applicants must be certified by a licensed healthcare professional, such as a physician or nurse practitioner, who will complete the necessary documentation. Furthermore, it is important to note that the disability should not be expected to improve within the next six months. Once eligibility is confirmed, individuals can proceed with the application process for a disabled parking placard through the Alabama Division of Motor Vehicle.
