(5,166 posts)I recognize that many computers users don't have printers.
Perhaps some MDs have handicap placard forms in their offices, or can print one out; if the physician already knows you're eligible for the handicapped placard, he/she could put your name in the proper place and pre-sign before mailing to you.
But, you're correct, it does take a lot of doing to get the placard.
My state requires that handicap placards be renewed every 5 years.
My mobility problems aren't going away in 5 years or ever - heart problems with 5 stents, as well as knee replacements, walking with a cane, and increasing age, etc.
I can understand the states don't want ineligible persons getting them.
Just imagine how many of them there are in Florida, home to so many retirees.
It was once recommended to me to get a handicap license plate, which would solve many problems.
However, I have a vanity plate- just my initials- my husband ordered for me 40 years ago, which I renew as necessary, and believe the process would be complicated by trying to order a handicap vanity plate.
