The applicant must complete the Application for Persons With Disabilities Parking Privileges’ DR 2219 form and submit it to the local motor vehicle office. The form must be signed by either the applicant or a representative. A licensed Colorado medical professional or a commissioned medical officer (CMO) must sign the form.
There is no fee for placards.
Permanent placards are valid for up to 3 years, while temporary placards are valid for up to 90 days. Temporary placards may only be renewed once.
Permanent placard holders need to recertify their disability status every 3 years by filling out DR 2219.
If the placard has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or otherwise damaged and the replacement placard is being requested prior to the expiration date, the damaged or mutilated placards should be surrendered to the authorized agent for replacement. Be ready to provide a copy of the DR 2574 Registration Receipt for the placard being replaced as proof for replacement validation.
The applicant may choose to be issued a new placard by completing a DR 2219 form, which would reset the 3-year certification date.
The placard must be displayed on the rearview mirror when the vehicle is stationary but removed when the vehicle is in motion.
