Indiana residents use State Form 42070 to apply for a disability license plate or a permanent or temporary disability parking placard. A health care provider certifies the disability on the form. Clinicians meet it when a patient's mobility, breathing, heart condition or vision limits walking, and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles issues the plate or placard from the certified application.
The applicant completes the personal and vehicle details and signs. A health care provider completes the certification section, stating whether the disability is permanent or temporary and, for a temporary disability, the expiration date.

Application for Disability License Plate or Parking Placard
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

No. A permanent placard does not expire unless a health care provider certifies that the disability is no longer considered permanent. To end it, the provider sends a letter to the BMV Registrations Department saying so. Temporary placards, by contrast, expire on the provider's date or after one year.
The BMV lists specific diagnosed levels of autism spectrum disorder among the conditions that can qualify for a disability placard, alongside mobility, heart, lung and vision impairments. The health care provider certifies the qualifying condition on State Form 42070.
At any BMV branch, or by mail using the address on the form. The BMV publishes a mail-in checklist with step-by-step instructions. Plates are renewed through the usual registration channels, including myBMV, kiosks, phone, mail or a branch.
