Who’s eligible?

Special parking permits are issued by the Idaho Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to any person with a disability and who owns a vehicle registered in his/her name. Person with a disability means someone who

  • cannot walk 200 ft or more without using  a walker, cane, crutch, braces, wheelchair, a prosthetic device, or another person;
  • cannot walk 200 ft or more without discomfort or difficulty due to a neurological, orthopedic, respiratory, cardiac impairment, an arthritic disorder, blindness, or the absence or loss of function of a limb;
  • has a permanent disability where the physician certifies that there is no expectation for a fundamental change in the condition in the future.
