I need to understand the requirements for obtaining and renewing handicapped parking plates or placards in Delaware. What are the key details regarding initial applications, renewals for permanent disabilities, the validity period of placards, and at least two specific medical conditions that qualify a first-time applicant?
Navigate to dmv.de.gov Click on 'Vehicle Services' from the main navigation. Click on the 'Handicapped Plates or Placards' link under the 'Vehicle Services Listing' or 'Information' section. Extract information regarding initial application requirements for physician certification, renewal requirements for permanent disabilities, the validity period of disabled placards, and at least two specific medical criteria for first-time applicants.
State that initial applications for special plates or placards require certification by a licensed medical professional. State that renewals for persons with a permanent disability no longer require a new physician's certification, only a written certification from the individual. State that disabled placards are valid for eight years. List at least two of the specific criteria for first-time applicants (e.g., cannot walk 200 feet without stopping, cannot walk safely without assistive devices, or specific lung disease criteria).
