How to Apply

To apply for a mobility-impaired license plate or a permit to be hung from your vehicle's rearview mirror, you must complete a Mobility Impaired Parking Permit Application. Be sure to have your physician complete the back of this application before submitting.

Permits are free but license plates require a $5 fee.

Depending on your circumstance (such as a broken leg, surgery recovery) you can also apply for a temporary permit. To do so, complete the Mobility Impaired Parking Permit Application and include a check for $3. Your temporary permit will be valid for three months.

Mail the application and all appropriate fees to:

  • Motor Vehicle Division
  • ND Department of Transportation
  • 608 E. Boulevard Ave.
  • Bismarck, ND 58505-0780

Traveling Out of State

The state does not issue travel parking placards to visitors or tourists. Only North Dakota residents can apply by completing a
Mobility Impaired Parking Permit Application.

The state does, however, honor parking placards from other states and nations. So if you're traveling from neighboring Canada, for example, with a valid mobility-impaired placard you can park in designated handicap spots without fear of being ticketed or towed.

To find out whether another state will honor your North Dakota disability parking placard or license plates, refer to our Drivers with Disabilities section for the state you will be visiting.
