Laws and permits for disabled drivers in Vermont

In Vermont, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) provides special license plates and plates for people with disabilities. If you have a disability that qualifies you for a plaque or plaque, you can apply for one.

Permission types

Depending on the type of disability you have in Vermont, you can apply for:

• Plaques that identify you as a person with a permanent disability.

• Signs that identify you as a temporary disabled person.

• License plates that identify you as disabled if you have a vehicle registered in your own name.

Your rights

If you have a Vermont disability sign or sign, you can:

• Park in places designated for people with disabilities
• Park in places with time limits, without having to respect time limits.
• Get help at gas stations, even if they are labeled "self-service".

However, you cannot park in areas where standard parking is not allowed. And you cannot let anyone else use your disability permit.

Travels

If you are a visitor to Vermont, you do not need to apply for special permits if you are disabled. The State of Vermont will recognize your out-of-state residency and will grant you the same rights and privileges as a person with a disability in Vermont.

Application

You can apply for a special permit in person or by mail. You will need to complete a Vermont Disabled Temporary Parking Application and Medical Form and provide a medical certificate.

You will also be required to complete the Universal Medical Evaluation/Progress Report Form and have it reviewed by a healthcare professional.

To apply for a license plate, you must complete the Registration/Tax/Property Application.

Payment Information

Disability badges are provided to you free of charge. If you want a license plate, you will have to pay the same fees as when applying for a regular license plate.

Return the application to the address indicated on the form.

Update

Posters and signs are burning. The permanent plaque is valid for four years. The temporary plate is valid for six months. Disabled license plates must be renewed the third time you renew your registration.

When you renew, you do not need to resubmit your health information if the original application states that your disability is permanent.

As a Vermont resident with a disability, you are entitled to certain rights and benefits that are not available to residents without a disability. However, you need to apply to receive special plates and plaques. The State of Vermont does not automatically identify you as a person with a disability. It is your responsibility to prove that you are disabled and to complete the paperwork correctly if you wish to take advantage of the special benefits that are available to you.
