In reply to Well.

@WellThe only way that you can use the Handicapped Parking zones in U.S. parking lots is if you already have a disabled permit issued through your local government. In the U.S., those are issued to the individual, not the vehicle, so your brother-in-law will have to bring his placard or permitted hanging tag with him if he has one. If he doesn’t, he should probably contact his local vehicle agency and see what he will need to have one issued to him. Florida does allow parking permits from other states and countries that display the international symbol of accessibility. Please see this page from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles: http://www.flhsmv.gov/FLVisitorsFAQs.htm . Have a safe trip!

Thanks for your question! I need a bit of information – does your brother-in-law have some kind of a disabled parking permit and if so, from where is it issued? Permits normally are for the person, not the vehicle. Please write to me at specialneedsareuniversal@hotmail.com and I’ll see what I can find out from the DMV.

Hi Debi! Thank you so much for such a helpful post!!
I m from Brazil and we are going to Orlando in January. We will need to use the handicapped parking since my brother-in-law uses a wheelchair.
Since I m not an american citizen I was wondering if we need to get some kind of special permit in order to have access to these special parking spots.
Thanks in advance for helping!
