ALBERTA DISABLED PARKING PLACARDS
APPLY FOR DISABLED PARKING PERMITS IN EDMONTON
If you are having trouble walking more than 50 meters, you may be eligible for a disabled parking placard. A disabled parking placard enables those with the most need to park in specially designated parking facilities. To request a placard speak with your medical practitioner or contact Registrations Are Us for an application form.
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF PLACARDS
-
Blue placards, which can be issued to those with long-term disabilities and are valid for five years
-
Blue placards, which can be issued to those with Permanent disabilities that can be self-declared every five years without the medical personnel signature
-
Red placards, which can be issued to those with disabilities that are temporary in nature, but will affect them for a period of three to twelve months (Note: A visitor in need may use their valid (non-expired) parking placard from their home jurisdiction during their vacation or visit to Alberta.)
WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A PARKING PLACARD

A completed Parking Placards for Persons with Disabilities application. The completed form must be signed by a physician, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist. This states you are entitled to disabled privileges

LAZY IS NOT A DISABILITY
We hear lots of excuses:
- I was only running in for a minute
- The parking lot was full
- I didn’t see the sign
- It was raining
But the truth is, there is no good reason to illegally park in an accessible stall. It’s an excuse!
