1. Select the number of placards you need (maximum two per applicant).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the provider section blank: The DMV will reject any form without a completed medical certification.
• Incorrect placard count: Only two placards are allowed per applicant; ordering more will cause delays.
• Missing signature: Both the applicant and the medical provider must sign electronically.
• Wrong address format: Use the exact mailing address as it appears on official documents.

Where to Submit Your Application

After completing the form, you can:

• Mail the PDF to the NC DMV address listed on the form.
• Submit it in person at your local DMV office.
• Upload it through the NC DMV’s online portal if you have an account.

The processing time is typically 4‑6 weeks. Include the appropriate fee ($5 per placard) with a check or money order payable to the "North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles."
