How to Renew an Accessible Parking Spot

If you are a driver, you'll need to renew your accessible spot every two years. If you are a passenger, you'll need to renew your accessible spot each year.

When you give us your information, make sure you have completed all questions, attached all documents, and your photos are clear.  Please don’t give us X-rays or medical records. You just need to have your doctor fill out the medical section of your application.

You will need to include digital photos or scanned copies of your:

• Vehicle registration at your Boston address
• Disabled Parking Placard showing your photo, ID number, and expiration date
• Your Massachusetts driver’s license

If you drive your car, even if it’s just some of the time:

• Ready digital files of your vehicle registration, Disabled Parking Placard, and driver’s license
• Have your doctor fill out the medical form, and create a digital copy

If you are only a passenger in the car (you don’t have a license, you never drive, or you are under the age of 16):

• Ready digital files of your Disabled Parking Placard, the driver’s license of the person who regularly drives you, and the primary driver’s vehicle registration 
• Have your doctor fill out the medical form, and create a digital copy

Please make sure your forms are filled out completely and your photos or scanned documents are clear. Please don’t send in X-rays or medical records. You just need the doctor to fill out the medical section of your application.
