Apply for a New Disability Placard or License Plate
Step One: Complete the parking privileges application form (form DR 2219).
- Requires signature of a licensed physician.
- Anyone other than the applicant may witness the applicant’s ID information on the form.
Step Two: Return the form
- Option 1: Complete the parking privileges application online
- You will need a Secure and Verifiable ID (out-of-state driver’s licenses or IDs only accepted for short term placards)
- For license plates: You will need a payment for license fees and ownership tax
- Option 2: Mail the parking privileges application to our office.
- Option 3: Return the form in-person to any county Motor Vehicle office in Colorado (does not have to be a Boulder County office)
- The person applying must come in (or a designated Power of Attorney) in order to receive the placard on the spot. Otherwise, the placard will be mailed to the address shown on the application.
- Appointments are not required for disability placards. All three Boulder County Motor Vehicle offices will prioritize people with disability placard applications, even as a walk-in.
Placards are free of charge. Short term placards are issued for 90 days.
