Eligibility & Required Documents

To qualify for a handicap driver registration plate, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• Possess a disability that limits your ability to walk or stand for extended periods.
• Have a visual impairment certified by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or a Division of Services for the Blind representative.

Required documents include:

• Completed MVR-37 form.
• Medical certification signed by a qualified provider.
• Proof of identity (driver’s license, state ID, or passport).
• Payment of the $36 plate fee (or $5 per placard if you’re applying for a placard instead).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving any required field blank – the PDF filler will highlight missing information.
• Submitting an unsigned medical certification – the physician’s signature is mandatory.
• Using an outdated version of the form – always use the latest PDF provided by the NCDOT.
• Forgetting to attach the fee payment receipt when mailing the application.
