NJ SP-68: Application for Temporary Disability Placard

New Jersey residents with a temporary mobility limitation use SP-68 to get a temporary disability placard from their municipal police department. A medical practitioner certifies in Section B, after personally examining the patient, that the person has temporarily lost the use of a limb, needs an assisting device to walk, or is otherwise temporarily limited in mobility.

Who completes it

The applicant completes Section A and signs Section C, the terms and conditions. A medical practitioner completes and signs Section B, Medical Practitioner's Certification, including a required National Provider Identification number.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The applicant files the form, with the fee payable to the NJ MVC attached, at the police department of their municipality, where the police chief issues the placard.
Who pays
The applicant pays a fee payable to the NJ MVC; the form does not address payment for the practitioner's certification.

Good to know

  • A temporary placard is valid for no longer than six months from issue and can be recertified only once, for up to another six months.
  • Extending the placard requires recertification by a qualified medical practitioner on SP-68, with the recertification box checked and the current placard number entered.
  • The placard is for the named person only and goes back to the issuing police department when no longer used. Permanent disabilities use SP-41 instead.
  • The current SP-68 is revision R4/13. Practitioners without an NPI cannot complete Section B, because the number is required.
