Get A Parking Placard For People With Disabilities

If you are applying on behalf of someone else, please visit an Alberta registry agent to obtain the necessary consent form. The application must be submitted within 6 months of the healthcare professional signing it. If you are visiting Alberta and didn’t bring your placard with you, go to a registry agent and request a short-term placard that will cover the length of your visit to Alberta. The placard must be returned to a registry agent before you leave Alberta. The letter must be signed by an authorized officer. The number of placards an organization gets depends on the number of active vehicle registrations it has. An organization is only entitled to get enough placards for each active vehicle. Organizations will get a red placard for 1-year terms only. Send your letter to a registry agent. A valid parking placard and matching registration certificate can only be used by the person it is issued to. The driver must ensure that the placard is valid and they have a registration certificate. You can use your valid placard and registration certificate in any vehicle that provides you with transportation. The driver must obey other parking laws and pay any parking fees. Persons issued a disabled licence plate and registration are subject to a yearly registration fee. Your valid placard must be hung from the vehicle’s rear-view mirror with the registration number and expiry date visible from outside the vehicle. The matching registration certificate must be in the vehicle and presented on demand by a Peace Officer. You must enter or exit the vehicle when parked in a stall marked for persons with disabilities. Municipal bylaws govern these parking stalls on both public and private property. A stall or parking space signed for persons with disabilities is not for the exclusive use of one person with a disability; it may be used by others with valid placards.
