You can get a temporary placard (perfect for a broken leg or a short-term health hiccup) or a permanent one that lasts for years. It’s like choosing between renting a movie or owning it forever. No pressure, just options.
And let’s talk about the design. It’s reflective, so even in the dark, parking enforcement can see it hanging from your rearview mirror like a little moon. That’s not just smart—it’s neighborly. No one likes a nasty parking ticket surprise.

How to actually get one without losing your mind
First, download the OS/DS-7 from the NJ MVC website. (It’s totally free, by the way.) Next, get your healthcare provider—your doctor, nurse practitioner, or even a chiropractor—to fill out the medical part. They have to confirm your condition makes walking difficult. Then, mail it or drop it off at your local MVC agency.
Ever mailed something and then waited forever? NJ usually processes these in 2 to 4 weeks. That’s faster than most online shopping returns. While you wait, imagine all the parking spots you’ll finally snag.
