HANDICAP PARKING
Your police department can issue
Temporary Handicap Parking placards. These placards are valid for a six (6)
month period and can be renewed once for another six (6) months. As the word
temporary implies, the intent of these placards is to allow a person with a
temporary condition such as a broken leg or minor surgery to use handicap
parking spaces. If the medical condition is of a continuing nature, you need to
contact the NJ Department of Motor Vehicle for a permanent placard.
To obtain a Temporary placard, respond
to the Records Bureau for an application. This must be taken to your medical
provider and signed as required. You will complete the rest of the application
and return it to Records along with a check made out to the NJ Division of MV in
the amount of $4.00. You will then be issued your placard.
