What to say when someone answers
“I need to apply for a [temporary/permanent] disabled parking permit. Can you confirm the current certification, ID, fee, and mail or in-person submission requirements?”
Small but useful: Write down the person’s name, the date, the exact next step, and when you should call again.
Do this in order

Download the current HSMV 83039.
- 2
Ask an authorized certifying professional to complete the disability section.
- 3
Choose temporary or permanent based on the expected duration documented by the professional.

What happens next
The service center reviews the form and issues the permit if the certification and identification requirements are met.
