Bfs 108 Form PDF Details

The Michigan Department of State disability parking placard application is the official form for residents and organizations seeking reserved parking access. This comprehensive application helps individuals and organizations obtain the necessary placards for easier access to parking spaces in public and private venues.

Who Qualifies for a Michigan Disability Parking Placard

Michigan residents with a mobility-limiting disability may apply for a disability parking placard. Qualifying conditions include inability to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest, inability to walk without an assistive device, a severe lung condition, use of portable oxygen, Class III or IV cardiac conditions, an orthopedic or neurological condition that severely limits the ability to walk, or partial or total loss of use of one or both legs. A licensed healthcare professional must certify the medical eligibility on Part 2 of the application.

What You Need to Complete the Application

The application has multiple parts depending on the applicant type:

• Part 1 – Individual Information: Legal name, address, county, date of birth, and driver license or state ID number, plus authorization to release medical information.
• Part 2 – Medical Certification: Completed and signed by a licensed physician, chiropractor, optometrist, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant, confirming the qualifying disability and its expected duration.
• Part 3 – Applicant Certification: Applicant signature certifying the information is accurate and complete.
• Part 4 – Organization Request: Required only for organizations applying for placards to transport disabled persons. Includes organization name, street address, county, telephone number, and number of disability placards requested.

Temporary vs. Permanent Disability Parking Placards

This application covers two types of disability parking placards. A permanent placard is issued when the qualifying condition is permanent or unlikely to improve, and must be renewed every four years. A temporary placard is issued when the condition is expected to last between three and twelve months. The certifying healthcare provider must specify the estimated duration on the application. A new submission with renewed medical certification is required for any extension beyond the original authorized period.

How to Submit the Application

Submit the completed disability parking placard application in person at any Michigan Secretary of State branch office or by mail to the address provided on the form. Processing typically takes 10 to 15 business days. Individuals who meet the legal criteria may also be eligible for free parking at metered spaces under Michigan law. When it is time to renew, use the handicap placard renewal form on FormsPal. For additional documentation, see the disability parking certificate and the handicapped parking permit application.

Penalties for Misuse of Disability Parking Placards

Michigan law imposes strict penalties for the misuse or fraudulent use of disability parking placards. Only individuals with certified disabilities or authorized organizations may legally use placards obtained through this program. Providing false information on the application may result in criminal charges. Accuracy and honesty throughout the application process are required by law.
