Minnesota PS2005: Disability Parking Certificate

Minnesota residents use PS2005 to apply for a temporary, short-term, long-term or permanent disability parking certificate (hang tag) from Driver and Vehicle Services. In Part B a health professional certifies a qualifying condition under Minn. Stat. 169.345 and answers a fitness-to-drive question. That question makes the form more than a parking application: a 'no' answer can cancel the patient's driving privileges.

Who completes it

The applicant, or a parent or guardian, completes Part A. A licensed physician, physician assistant, APRN, chiropractor or physical therapist completes Part B, and every question in it must be answered for the application to be accepted.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The applicant submits the form in person at any deputy registrar office or mails it to Driver and Vehicle Services in St. Paul. Incomplete forms cause significant delays.
Who pays
Temporary and short-term certificates carry a per-certificate fee paid by the applicant, while long-term and permanent certificates are free; the form does not address payment for the health professional's section.

Good to know

  • The driving question offers four answers: yes without adaptive equipment, yes with specified equipment, no with an explanation, or no because the person is unlicensed. Leaving it blank prompts a medical report request.
  • If the professional answers no, the patient's driving privileges are canceled until a physician's statement confirms they can control a motor vehicle.
  • There are ten qualifying definitions. Assistive device use, life-threatening aggravation from walking 200 feet, inability to walk 200 feet and fall risk each require a written diagnosis.
  • Certificate lengths: temporary 1 to 6 months, short-term 7 to 12 months, long-term 13 to 71 months, permanent six years. The current version is PS2005-6 (8/2026).

Frequently asked questions

Who can sign Minnesota form PS2005?

Part B must be completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse, chiropractor or physical therapist. The professional signs a statement acknowledging that fraudulently certifying a person as physically disabled is a crime under Minnesota Statutes section 169.345, subdivision 2a.

Can a Minnesota disability parking application affect a driver's license?

Yes. Part B asks whether the patient is medically qualified to exercise reasonable and ordinary control over a motor vehicle. If the answer is no, the patient's driving privileges will be canceled, and reinstatement requires a physician's statement confirming the ability to drive.

How long is a Minnesota disability parking certificate valid?

The health professional chooses the length: temporary for 1 to 6 months, short-term for 7 to 12 months, long-term for 13 to 71 months, or permanent for six years. Non-residents may apply only for a temporary certificate.
