What Are The Qualifying Medical Conditions For A Disabled Parking Permit In Connecticut?

To apply for a disabled parking permit in Connecticut, your condition needs to be certified by a licensed healthcare professional, such as a physician, physician's assistant, optometrist, ophthalmologist, psychiatrist, advanced practice registered nurse, or a member of the Connecticut Board of Services and Education for the Blind. For veterans, a VA disability certificate may also suffice.
There is no fee for permanent disabled parking permits, while temporary permits have a $5 application fee. There is a simple renewal process for your disabled permits. It's important to note that temporary placards are valid for up to six months from the date of issue and cannot be renewed, but you can reapply for a new one if needed.
