Always keep the placard hanging from your rearview mirror when parked—facing out so the expiration date is visible. If you forget, you might get a ticket, and that’s just a bummer. Also, know that the permit is not a free pass to park anywhere—don’t use it in a fire lane or a loading zone, or you’ll learn a costly lesson.
One last thing: renewals are a breeze. For permanent placards, you just fill out a simple certification form every two or three years. No doctor visit needed—just mail it in. It’s like a subscription service, but for parking spots.
So, go ahead and grab that DO-11A from the NJ MVC website. In a few days or weeks, you’ll be parking closer to the door than you ever imagined. And honestly, isn’t that a little bit of suburban magic?
