To get an official disabled parking placard in Missouri, a licensed medical provider must certify your condition on the state's application form. That's usually a physician, but Missouri may also accept PAs, nurse practitioners, and other listed providers, such as chiropractors or optometrists for vision-related conditions.
Typical qualifying conditions in Missouri include being unable to walk about 200 feet without stopping to rest, needing a wheelchair, walker, cane, crutch, brace, or prosthetic, needing portable oxygen, having a severe lung, heart, arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition, or being legally blind.
If your condition is short-term, such as recovering from surgery, Missouri offers temporary placards that usually last up to 180 days. Permanent placards need periodic renewal, and Missouri may require recertification.
Keep in mind that the placard belongs to the disabled person, not the vehicle, so that person must be riding in or driving the car whenever the placard is used in Missouri. Missouri also honors out-of-state placards.
The Missouri Disabled Person Parking Permit below is intended for PaytoPark.net lot owners in Missouri who wish to issue placards that are valid solely at their lot.

Tips for Managing Accessible Parking at Your Lot
Keep a simple log of each permit number you issue and its expiration date. Reserve accessible spaces near the entrance, mark them with clear signage, and check that your lot meets applicable federal ADA and Missouri accessibility requirements, since a lot-issued placard does not satisfy those obligations on its own. Placards also work best when you set a clear expiration date and replace them on a regular schedule.
