You don’t need to be a superhero or climb a mountain of red tape. The form is designed for anyone with a temporary or permanent disability that limits their ability to walk. This includes things like recent knee surgery, chronic back pain, heart conditions, severe arthritis, or even vision problems.
Your doctor is your sidekick in this mission. They just need to fill out the medical part of the form, confirming your condition. It’s a thirty-second conversation at your next checkup—way easier than arguing with your GPS about a shortcut.

The two flavors of passes
New Jersey offers two main options: the permanent placard (good for up to four years) and the temporary placard (for things like a broken leg that lasts a few months). You can also get special license plates if you want something more permanent.
It’s like choosing between a monthly bus pass and a single ride ticket. Pick what fits your life. And the best part? The form itself is free—you just pay a small fee when you actually get the placard or plates at the DMV.
