Illinois residents applying for or renewing a disability parking placard, including disability plate owners, need a medical professional to certify eligibility on this two-page form, edition VSD 62.33 (March 2026). The professional chooses temporary, permanent or meter-exempt status and checks qualifying conditions. The form is valid six months from signature for a temporary placard and four years for a permanent one.
The applicant completes Part 1, and a parent or guardian Part 2 for a minor. A licensed medical professional authorized under the Illinois Vehicle Code, or a licensed optometrist or chiropractor, completes Part 3 and, for meter-exempt status, Part 4.
