How to Fill Out Form ITD 3392: Idaho Disability License Plates and Placards

Idaho Form ITD 3392 is the single application used to request disability license plates, a permanent placard, a temporary placard, or any combination of the three from the Idaho Transportation Department. You fill in your personal and vehicle information, a licensed medical professional certifies your qualifying condition, and you submit the completed form to ITD by mail or email — or, for placard-only requests, in person at your county DMV. The current version is available on the ITD website.¹

What the Form Lets You Request

One application covers three credentials, and you can check more than one box:

Disability license plates, which attach to a specific vehicle you own. Personalized versions are available for an extra $25 initial fee and $15 at each renewal.
A permanent placard, which hangs from the mirror and moves between vehicles. The person with the disability has to be in the car for the placard’s parking rights to apply.
A temporary placard, valid for one to six months based on what your medical professional writes on the form. This is the option for conditions expected to improve, such as recovery from surgery or a broken leg.

An optional Idaho State Parks Passport add-on ($10 for one year, $20 for two) can be purchased on the same form.

Who Qualifies

Idaho Code § 49-117 sets the medical threshold. You qualify if you cannot walk 200 feet without help from another person; cannot walk 200 feet without a walker, cane, crutches, braces, a prosthetic device, or a wheelchair; or cannot cover 200 feet without significant difficulty or discomfort from a neurological, orthopedic, respiratory, cardiac, or arthritic disorder, blindness, or the loss of function or absence of a limb. For a permanent plate or placard, your physician also has to certify there is no expectation of a fundamental or marked change in the condition at any time in the future.²

Filling Out Each Section

The form has three sections. Print clearly; unreadable handwriting is one of the easiest ways to stall an application.

Section 1: Applicant Information

Enter your full legal name, residential address, and date of birth. Approved plates and placards ship to the address you list, so make sure it’s current.

Section 2: Vehicle Information

Complete this section only if you’re requesting plates. You’ll need the year, make, and model of the vehicle, along with the Idaho title number and the Vehicle Identification Number. Both the title number and VIN appear on your vehicle title. Check the VIN character by character against the title — a transposed digit is a common reason applications come back. Skip this section for placard-only requests.¹

Section 3: Physician’s Disability Certification

Your medical professional fills out this section, not you. Only a licensed physician, licensed physician assistant, or licensed advanced practice professional nurse may sign it. The certifier marks whether your disability is permanent or temporary, and for a temporary placard writes in a specific expiration date no more than six months out. The signature must be original, so bring the blank form to your appointment or have the office request one directly.¹

Getting this section right the first time matters. Incomplete or inconsistent medical information triggers follow-up requests that can add weeks.

Where to Submit It

Submission depends on what you’re applying for.

If your application includes plates, mail the completed form to the Idaho Transportation Department, Vehicle Services – Special Plates, PO Box 7129, Boise, ID 83707-1129, or email it to specialplates@itd.idaho.gov.

For a placard only, you can use either of those channels or hand the form to staff at your local county DMV office.

What It Costs

Standard disability plates and a standard placard carry no separate state fee beyond normal vehicle registration, which still applies to any car receiving plates. Personalized disability plates add $25 up front and $15 at each renewal. The optional State Parks Passport is $10 for one year or $20 for two.³

Organizations That Transport People With Disabilities

Hospitals, nursing homes, government agencies, taxicab companies, and similar operations can apply on the ITD 3392 without a physician’s certification. Instead, the applicant signs a declaration on the form stating the organization is engaged in transporting people with disabilities.³

A Note for Disabled Veterans

Disabled veteran plates are a separate credential under Idaho Code § 49-403, not something you request on the ITD 3392. Veterans with a 100-percent service-connected disability, or with specific disabilities including the loss or permanent loss of use of a hand or foot, or permanent impairment of vision in both eyes constituting virtual blindness, can have registration fees waived entirely on one vehicle at a time. If you may qualify under both statutes, contact ITD to work out which credential fits your situation.⁴
