Handicap hangtags or license plates

Individuals who have a permanent, lifetime disability can apply for a mobility-impaired license plate. Only vehicles titled in Louisiana will be eligible for issuance of mobility impaired Plates.

To obtain a license plate for a mobility-impaired person, the following must be submitted to the OMV:

A Vehicle Application form, DPSMV 1799, which has been completed by the vehicle owner.

A Physician's Certification of Mobility Impairment form (for handicap placards and license plates), DPSMV 1966, which has been completed by the mobility impaired individual's physician.

If the vehicle is titled in the mobility impaired person's name and is currently registered, the license plate and registration must be submitted.

If the plate is being used on a vehicle that is not in the name of the mobility impaired individual, the Designation of Mobility Impaired License Plate form (DPSMV 4222) must be completed and submitted.

Proof of insurance

If there is no license plate assigned to the vehicle at the time application for a mobility impaired plate is made, a copy of each vehicle owner’s current and valid photo identification (driver’s license or identification card issued by this state or another state) must be submitted.

$10.00 payment for a two-year plate

$8.00 handling fee

A parish fee may apply of up to $6.00
