  • Return the completed application to the DMV for processing by one of the following methods:

    • Mail:              Department of Motor Vehicles

    • E-mail:           dmv.hpapp@ct.gov

What will it cost:
  • There is no fee for the permanent parking permit.

Please Note:

  • The permit is for the exclusive use of the diabled person.

  • A permanent parking permit gives an individual permission to park in spaces reserved for individuals with a disability.

  • It may be used in any vehicle in which the disabled person is riding in

  • The permit is designed to hang from the rearview mirror when the vehicle is parked, but should be removed when the vehicle is being operated.

  • The permit must be returned if you move out of state.

Organizations: Permits may also be issued to a facility or an agency for vehicles they use primarily to transport people with qualifying disabilities. A Special Permit Application and Impairment Certificate (form B-225) must be completed by the head of the facility or agency, and indicate the vehicle will be used at least 50 percent of the time for transporting eligible clients.

Note: Permanent parking permits will expire in accordance with your Connecticut driver’s license or identification card depending on the type of license you have. If you do not have a Connecticut driver’s license or identification card, you must obtain one before you can obtain or renew a permanent parking permit. 

 
If you lose your permit or it is stolen, you must apply for a replacement permit.
