Wisconsin program
Parking closer to the door (temporary disability permit)
A temporary parking permit for a qualifying limitation, certified by a health professional.
What it is
A temporary parking permit for a qualifying limitation, certified by a health professional.
Treatment can make the walk from the car park hard. The test is how your child walks, not the diagnosis; a clinician on the team certifies it.
Eligibility rules
- One qualifying route is inability to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest.
- Eligible certifiers include physicians, podiatrists, advanced practice nurses, chiropractors, public health nurses and physician assistants.
What you get
- A temporary parking permit for $6, valid for up to six months.
If you decide to apply
- Ask an eligible clinician on your child's team to review form MV2933 and certify any qualifying limitation.
- If you decide to request a permit, the social worker and certifying professional can help check the form and fees: $6, plus a $3 counter fee when applicable.

Good to know
Renewing means applying again. A nurse practitioner or physician assistant can certify the form.
Other details
- The permit can be issued at the counter or by mail after the completed form is received. A counter fee may apply.
- The test is walking, not the diagnosis: for example, not being able to walk 200 feet without stopping, or needing a person or a device to walk. A physical therapist can also sign.
Official sources
“Would our child's limitations qualify for a temporary parking permit, what would it cost and require, and could the team help with the form if appropriate?”
Why I’m asking: I want to understand whether walking from the parking area meets the permit's functional test.
More background and detailed requirements
Additional program information and published rules
Who does what
The three parts, side by side. The agency decides; nobody on this page does.
You
Take the form to the next clinic visit and get it signed.
Your social worker
A nurse practitioner or physician assistant on the team can sign it.
The care team
Certification of the functional limitation on form MV2933.
- Who decides
- The state transport department.
- Ask your social worker
- “Can someone on the team sign the temporary disabled parking form at our next visit?”
How to apply
First step: Print form MV2933, take it to the next clinic visit for a signature, and pay the $6.
- Ask any of the listed health professionals on the team to sign form MV2933 at the next visit.
Official application / program page ↗
Where it starts: Fill in form MV2933 with a health professional's certification and pay $6.
What to gather
- Form MV2933
- The vehicle details
- A note of how far your child can walk
How long: Issued at the counter or by post once the form is in.
What a yes looks like
A permit valid for up to six months.
What a no looks like, and the next move
The form did not describe a qualifying limitation. Ask the team to describe a bad day rather than an average one.
Watch out
- It is the functional limitation that qualifies, not the diagnosis.
- A nurse practitioner or physician assistant can sign it, so you need not wait for the consultant.
- It lasts six months and renewing means applying again.
The numbers and the rules
The arcane layer, kept on purpose. Checked September 11, 2026.
What it is worth
A disabled parking permit for up to six months, for $6, certified by a health professional.
- $6 — Permit fee
- $6 — Maximum months a temporary permit lasts
- $200 — Distance in the published walking test
What it costs the family: $6, and possibly a counter fee.
The eligibility facts, as published
- Test
- a qualifying functional limitation, not the diagnosis; one route is being unable to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest
- Certifier
- physician, podiatrist, advanced practice nurse, chiropractor, public health nurse or physician assistant
- Duration
- up to six months
The trap: It is the functional limitation that qualifies, not the diagnosis. Not being able to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest is one published route, so describe what your child can actually do on a bad day.
