The DMV has implemented an electronic system for accepting and processing handicapped parking permits from allowed health care providers online. This eliminates the burden on you, the patient to carry around the paper application to different parties (city office, doctor's office), as well, as speeds up the processing of the application allowing you to have the permit within one to two work DAYS compared to one to three WEEKS!
