Handicap Parking Permits Georgia

Most major parking lots in Georgia will reserve at least a few special parking spaces close to the entrance of their respective building where only disabled patrons can park. These are for people who have a hard time getting around on their feet once they have stepped out of their vehicle. To legally park in one of these spaces, however, you will first need to apply for a special handicap placard or license plate which designates you as being mobility impaired. Anyone caught parking in one of these spots without displaying the appropriate placard or plate will be ticketed and fined a hefty amount. Applying for a Handicap Placard or Plate in Georgia You’ll have to go to the local Georgia tag office and bring a completed and notarized Disabled Person’s Parking Affidavit (Form MV-9D) with you. Your doctor will be required to complete part of it, certifying that you do indeed have a condition which impairs your movement. Your handicap placard can be either permanent or temporary, depending...

To Improve And Expedite This Process

Beginning January 1, 2021, qualifying disabled veterans will have an easier process to follow when requesting special Disabled Veteran license plates or distinguishing placards from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Currently, a disabled veteran in California obtains the plates by securing a disability certification from a medical professional or from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA), and then provides it to the DMV, which issues the plates. To improve and expedite this process, last month Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring the DMV to also accept disability certificates issued by a County Veterans Service Officer (CVSO) and the California Department of Veterans Affairs. This provides qualifying disabled veterans more convenient options to obtaining their disability certificates for Disabled Veterans plates or a placard(s) from the DMV. “As always, CalVet is here to help California’s veterans, and we’re glad to see a more convenient process for ...

California Vehicle Code Section 4461 (VC 4461): Misuse Of Handicap Placards

In the first example of the above-listed violations, a man legally qualified for a disability placard. Being a good friend, he lends the placard to his neighbor for the day to run some errands. While the man has legal and valid possession of the placard, it is not meant to be used by his neighbor. By knowingly landing it to someone else who is not authorized, the man could be convicted of California Vehicle Code 4461 (VC 4461). Following on the above example, if the neighbor accepts the placard and uses it for any amount of time, he/she is also in violation of California Vehicle Code 4461 (VC 4461) and could be convicted as well. The placard or license plate is strictly meant for the disabled person’s use only. In a different example, a man has a disabled wife. The wife legally owns a vehicle with a special handicapped license plate. The husband does not have a disability; therefore, his car is not equipped with a handicap placard or plate. When the man knows he has to go downtown for ...
