DO YOU HAVE A DISABLED PARKING PLACARD ???

Beginning in February 2017, Disabled Parking Placard issued by the RMV will

have a new appearance. What the change is and what this means for you:

*Small blue wheelchair symbols will now appear behind the Placard Number and

Expiration Date. This is a security feature to prevent fraudulent placards.

*Old style placards WILL remain VALID until the date of expiration

shown on the placard.

*You do NOT need to do anything if you have a placard. A new one will be

sent to you when your old placard expires!

Anyone needing help filling out an application for a disabled parking placard, or if

you have questions about your existing placard, please contact

Sharon Felton or Lynne Barrett at 978-744-0924.

-License renewals (for licensed drivers younger than age 75)

-Registration renewals

-Change of address

-Duplicate license or registration

-How to report a lost or stolen disability placard & how to request a replacement

You must have a valid checking account orc credit card to process any transaction (no cash will be accepted).

Please be advised that the staff/volunteers at the Salem COA are not required to provide assistance and there maybe

instances where the Salem COA staff/volunteers my decline to process your transaction with the Registry.

For more information or to schedule an appointment please contact Sharon Felton or Lynne Barrett at 978-744-0924.
