Nova Scotia Accessible Parking Permit Form (APP11)
Nova Scotians with mobility disabilities apply to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for an accessible parking permit, a temporary permit or accessible number plates with this one-page form. A physician certifies either a permanent mobility disability, including legal blindness, in Section 2, or a temporary one in Section 3. Permits are free and can travel with the person between vehicles.
Who completes it
The applicant completes Section 1, certifying they are a mobility disabled person, and must be the plate owner and operator when applying for plates. A qualified medical practitioner completes Section 2 for a permanent disability or Section 3 for a temporary one.
Submitting and payment
- How to submit it
- Submit the form in person at any Registry of Motor Vehicles or Access Nova Scotia office, by mail to Service Nova Scotia, or by fax.
Good to know
- Section 3 certifies a temporary mobility disability for a maximum of six months per certification, stating the condition and its anticipated duration.
- Permanent certification covers paralysis, lower limb amputation, heart or lung disease or another debilitating impairment meeting the regulatory limits, and legal blindness under the Blind Persons Act (Canada).
- Renewal of a permanent plate permit uses Section 4, where the applicant self-certifies that their condition has not changed, without a new physician's signature.
- The permanent permit is valid for 5 years and is free, as is the temporary permit; plates are a straight exchange for existing passenger or light commercial plates.
