Operating or traveling in a vehicle is already a high-risk activity that requires careful attention and adherence to federal laws. For temporarily and permanently disabled individuals, or families with a disabled loved one, making sure every trip is safe and runs smoothly requires extra steps.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Properly identifying your vehicle as carrying a person with a disability is crucial to ensuring you get the assistance you need, no matter where you go. Like any other vehicle documentation, getting ahold of disabled parking placards and license plates can become a hassle – but it doesn’t have to be. This article will detail the process for obtaining these registrations, and provide guidance on how to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Registration requirements
If you or a loved one has a temporary or permanent disability, you are already very familiar with the challenges that travel poses. Before registering, it is important to review PennDOT’s specific guidelines for identifying persons with qualifying disabilities, as well as the administrative staff that are eligible to register these individuals. The full list of disability types and specifications is available on the PennDOT website.
How to register
Once you’ve verified your eligibility for disabled parking placards and license plates, you can begin the registration process. Form MV-145A, the “Persons with Disability Parking Placard Application,” is required to receive any of the disabled parking placard options available in Pennsylvania. License plates are issued at the time of recognition of the disability by an authorized healthcare provider or law enforcement officer.
Your auto tags service cares for disabled drivers and passengers
While the DMV is the point office that those with disabilities need to contact in order to gain special vehicle registrations, visiting the office is less than ideal for many disabled individuals and families. The DMV is notoriously difficult to navigate, stressful, and time-consuming, no matter the reason for the visit.
Auto tags service providers are a fantastic second option for getting the necessary information and paperwork ready to register a vehicle for disability assistance. Many auto tags providers include service centers directly authorized by the DMV to deliver their essential services. They also benefit from not being an official government agency in that there are rarely long lines and wait times before receiving service. Auto tags providers are vehicle experts, knowledgeable on a wide range of topics, and able to help answer any questions you may have about the process of acquiring disability placards and registration plates.
