Utah's TC-842 is the certification behind disability parking placards and disabled plates from the Utah DMV. A licensed physician, physician assistant, physical therapist or nurse practitioner certifies that the applicant meets one of six criteria that limit walking. Plates require a permanent disability, while placards can be permanent or temporary.
The applicant supplies their information, and a licensed physician, physician assistant, physical therapist or nurse practitioner completes the disability certification. Care facilities that transport disabled people complete Section 2, the Disabled Person Care Facility Certification.

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.

The Utah DMV says TC-842 must be completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant, physical therapist or nurse practitioner. The clinician certifies that the person meets at least one of the state's six criteria for a disability that limits walking, which is required for any placard or plate.
Up to six months, and it cannot be renewed. If the patient still needs a placard after it expires, a new TC-842 certification from the clinician is required for another temporary placard. A condition that turns out to be permanent can be certified as permanent instead.
No. Only the initial certification is needed for permanent placards and plates. Permanent placards issued after July 1, 2024 do not expire; older ones generate DMV renewal notices that the holder signs and returns without a new medical certification.
