Illinois Disability Plates
Disability License Plates
Make parking more accessible with disability license plates in Illinois. Here's what you need to know about disability plates:
Eligibility
To qualify for disability license plates, you must have a qualifying disability as defined by the Illinois Secretary of State's office. Eligible disabilities may include mobility impairments, visual impairments, or other medical conditions that affect your ability to walk or operate a vehicle.
Plate Options
Illinois offers disability license plates with the International Symbol of Access (ISA) prominently displayed. These plates provide designated parking privileges for individuals with disabilities, allowing for easier access to parking spaces designated for disabled individuals.
Application Process
To obtain disability license plates, you will need to submit an application form along with any required documentation, such as medical certification of your disability. Applications can be submitted online through the Illinois Secretary of State website or in-person at a local DMV office.
Additional Documentation
In addition to the standard application form, you may be required to provide medical certification or documentation from a licensed medical professional confirming your disability. This documentation helps to ensure that disability license plates are issued only to individuals with genuine medical needs.
Renewal
Once obtained, disability license plates must be renewed on a regular basis according to the standard renewal schedule set by the Illinois Secretary of State. Ensure that you renew your plates on time to maintain their validity and continue to receive parking privileges.
