Journey
If you are visiting Tennessee, you do not need to have a special sign or sign if you are disabled. The State of Tennessee will recognize your home state's nameplate or nameplate and will grant you the same rights and privileges as Tennessee residents.
Application
In Tennessee, you can apply for a plaque or plaque in person or by mail. In either case, you must complete an Application for a License Plate, Plate and/or Disabled Sticker. You must then receive a form signed and authenticated by your doctor, a doctor-related nurse practitioner, or a doctor's assistant. Tennessee differs from many other states in that you can also get certified by a Christian Science practitioner, provided he or she is registered with the Christian Science Journal.
Payment Information
The fee for a temporary sign is $10. The permanent plate fee is $21.50 and you will also receive a special plate if you have a registered vehicle. The license plates alone also cost $21.50. Stickers identifying you as disabled are free.
Disabled Veterans Numbers
If you are a disabled veteran whose disability is 100% related to military service, then you can get a special plate that reads “Veteran with a Disability”. If your disability is not entirely related to your military service, you can still get a disabled veteran's license plate. However, this type of sign will not allow you to use handicapped parking spaces.
Tablets for the hearing impaired
You can get a special plaque if your doctor confirms that you have a hearing disability.
Update

- The permanent plaque is valid for two years.

Payment Information
A temporary plaque costs $10 and a permanent one costs $3. You can upgrade your nameplate by requesting a sticker and paying a fee of $21.50.
Lost, stolen or damaged plates
