So you have a child with disabilities and you are wondering how to get a Handicap License Plate/Placard in Utah.
If your child uses a wheelchair or cannot walk long distances, they qualify. Here are the actual qualifications...
State law defines a “disabled” person as one who:
- cannot walk 200 feet without stopping to rest;
- cannot walk without the use of, or assistance from, a brace, cane, crutch, another person, prosthetic device, wheelchair or other devices;
- is restricted by lung disease to a specific standard;
- uses portable oxygen;
- has a cardiac condition to a specific standard; or
- is severely limited in his or her ability to walk, due to an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition.
You have 2 options...you can get either
#1) 2 windshield placards,
or
#2) license plates for 1 vehicle plus 1 windshield placard.
The license plates cost $16 as a 1 time fee. The placards are free.
You must renew the placards every 2 years (but not plates). To renew your placard you just need to go in person to your local DMV office. It is free and you do not need your Dr. to sign anything to renew them. ( I didn't even have my disabled daughter with me when I recently renewed mine).
Here is the general website http://dmv.utah.gov/plates/disabled
You need to have your Dr. fill out this short form (TC 842) http://tax.utah.gov/forms/current/tc-842.pdf and take it in to your local DMV office. You can also submit it by mail for an extra $4.
Utah Disabled Placards and Plates are honored in other states while traveling.
Even if you have plates or a placard, if you do not have the person with disabilities with you, you should not use a handicap parking space.

Air pollution has unhealthy effects on people, animals and plant-life across the globe. Every time we inhale, we carry dangerous airpollutants into our bodies. These pollutants can cause short-term effects such as eye and throat irritation. More alarming, however, are the long-term effects such as cancer and damage to the body's immune, neurological, reproductive and respiratory systems.
