Additionally, to obtain a handicapped placard, the applicant may send a representative to the DMV office to drop off the handicap placard application. If the representative has a Power of Attorney (POA) to act on the applicant’s behalf, he/she can pick up the placard for the applicant. If no POA is provided, the placard will be mailed to the applicant’s address on record.

For handicapped license plates, either the applicant must be present, or must provide the representative with a POA, to act on their behalf to process the application and pick up the license plate.

Citizens with a “Permanent” disability can sign to self-certify themselves when their placard expires after the third year and the sixth year. For more information, please contact our office at 719-520-6240.
