How to Renew a Florida Disabled Parking Permit
Permanent permits expire every four years and require a fresh application and disability certification.
Start here
For a permanent permit renewal, submit a new HSMV 83039 with disability certification plus a copy of the expiring permit registration. Permanent permits are renewed every four years by the permit holder’s birthday.
What to have in front of you
- Current or expiring permit registration
- New HSMV 83039
- Current medical certification
- Florida identification information
- Current mailing address
What to say when someone answers
“My permanent disabled parking permit expires on [date]. Please confirm where to submit the new HSMV 83039 and whether anything besides the expiring registration and certification is required.”
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
- 1
Check the expiration date before the birthday deadline.
- 2
Download a current HSMV 83039 and obtain new certification.
- 3
Attach the expiring registration and any service-center-required identification.
- 4
Submit and keep proof until the replacement arrives.
What happens next
The service center verifies the application and issues a renewed permit. A permanent permit renewal has no permit fee.
If they say “we’ll put you on the list”
If the renewal has not arrived, call the receiving service center with the submission date. Ask what temporary proof, if any, can be used; do not use an expired permit without confirmation.
