What are the requirements for obtaining a handicap parking permit?

To obtain a handicap parking permit in the State of Maryland, certain requirements must be met. First, the individual must have a disability that limits or impairs their mobility or causes the need for a wheelchair, crutches, or other assistive devices. The medical condition must be verified by a licensed healthcare professional, such as a doctor or physician. The person's mobility impairment should be expected to last for more than six months. A completed application form, available from the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or online, along with the healthcare professional's certification, is required. The applicant's signature and vehicle information must also be provided. Once the completed application is submitted, the DMV will review it and issue the handicap parking permit if all requirements are met.
