There’s still time to renew your disabled placards
Californians Can Still Renew Disabled Person Parking Placards After June 30 Deadline
加州人在6月30日截止日期之後仍可以為殘疾人停車證續期
沙加緬度——有超過160萬殘疾人停車證持有者已使用加利福尼亞州機動車輛管理局的新流程進行了續期。對於錯過了今年6月30日截止日期的人來說，現在續期還來得及。
2022年12月，加利福尼亞州機動車輛管理局向200多萬殘疾人停車證（DPP）持有者發送了續期信函，通知其在2023年6月30日之前依據新法規要求提供簽名。
「停車證持有者以前從未擔心過續期問題，但是DMV開發了一種便捷的、可以預防欺詐行為的在線續期方式。」DMV局長Steve Gordon說，「如果您的停車證在6月30日已到期，但仍未續期，那麼就請您加入已經續期的、四分之三符合條件的停車證持有者的行列。續期晚了沒有罰款或費用，而且您還可以避免因使用過期停車證在殘疾人專用泊車位停車而被罰款的風險。」
這是加利福尼亞州首次要求擁有停車證超過六年的居民通過在線、信件或親自到訪辦事處簽署續期通知書的方式，向DMV正式確認他們仍然需要停車證。約40%的續期都是通過DMV新的、易於使用的在線DPP續期門戶辦理，約45%的續期是通過信件辦理，其餘的則是在DMV辦事處完成辦理。由於種種原因，一部分停車證將因為不再需要而不會被續期——這有助於預防停車證的欺詐使用。
持有人可以通過訪問dmv.ca.gov/DPP網站輕鬆地在線完成所有停車證續期手續。在開始續期前，顧客們需要準備好停車證ID號碼和停車證信息卡上的全名。續期是免費的，且無需醫生證明。
進行續期，停車證持有人必須：
1. 有停車證號碼或續期認證碼（RIN）。
2. 訪問 DMV.ca.gov/dpp。
3. 在續期通知書上提供電子簽名。
停車證持有者也可以在DMV辦事處進行續期，或者通過簽署並寄回收到的紙質續期通知書進行續期。郵資需自付。
以後，停車證持有者每六年都將需要續期一次。受影響的顧客們將收到來自DMV的續期信函。我們鼓勵任何希望就停車證續期經歷提供反饋的客戶來參與我們的調查。

More than 1.6 million placard holders have renewed their disabled person parking placards using a new process with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. And for those who missed this year’s June 30 deadline, it’s not too late to renew.
In December 2022, the California Department of Motor Vehicles sent renewal letters to just over 2 million disabled person parking placard (DPP) holders who needed to provide a signature to renew their placards by June 30, 2023, to comply with a new law.
“Placard holders have never had to worry about renewing before, but the DMV developed an easy way to renew online and prevent fraud,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon. “If your placard expired on June 30 and you still haven’t renewed, join the three-quarters of eligible placard holders who have already done so. There are no penalties or fees for a late renewal, and you can avoid the risk of being cited for parking in a designated space with an expired placard.”
This was the first year that Californians who have had a placard for more than six years needed to formally let the DMV know that they still need their placard by signing their renewal notice either online, by mail or in person. About 40% of renewals happened through the DMV’s new, easy-to-use online DPP renewal portal, about 45% were mailed in and the remainder happened at a DMV office. For a number of reasons, a portion of placards will not be renewed because they are no longer needed – helping prevent the fraudulent use of placards.
Placards can be renewed easily and entirely online by visiting dmv.ca.gov/DPP. Customers will need their placard ID number and the full name printed on their placard information card before starting the renewal. There is no charge or fee to renew, and no doctor’s note is required.
To renew, placard holders must:
Have their placard number or renewal identification number (RIN).
Visit DMV.ca.gov/dpp.
E-sign their renewal.
Placard holders can also renew in a DMV office or by signing and returning the renewal notice received in the mail. Postage is required.
In the future, placard holders will need to complete a renewal every six years. Affected customers receive renewal letters from the DMV. Any customer wishing to give feedback about their DPP renewal experience is encouraged to take our survey.
