Handicap Parking Permit

Temporary handicap permit information

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Police Department provides a temporary 10-day handicap permit. If a permit is needed longer, the individual will have to apply with the Department of Transportation within the state they reside. The UW-Platteville police will not extend a 10-day handicap permit.

  • The UW-Platteville Police Department requires a doctor’s written authorization before issuing a temporary handicap permit. The authorization needs to be on hospital/clinic letterhead and include:
    • Name of the person authorizing individual.
    • Reason for the handicap permit.
    • Individual’s name stating they need a handicap permit.
    • Fax to the UW-Platteville Police Department at 608.342.1641.
  • The 10-day permit may be applied for and picked up at the UW-Platteville Police Department upon receipt of the authorization.
  • The temporary handicap permit fee is cash or check. Persons with a current UW-Platteville permit will not be charged this fee. Contact the office for the current fee amount.
