Barbara,
How are you?
To answer your question, here is SC you use the same form you used for your
temp permit. My rehab doctor told me to take the perm one after my temp had
run out and use it when I thought it was necessary. It sure does come in
handy a lot. After you bring it into the SC office, they give you a placard
good for four years, and when that expires all you have to do is go get
another one. You do not have to keep bringing forms to get them renewed.
The lady down at motor vehicles suggested to me that when my plates come due
I should just get handicapped plates, they cost no more than the regular
ones, and also get a placard to keep in my purse for use when I am in someone
else's vehicle. We purchased 2 placards for now and I always have one in my
van and one in my purse in case it is needed. I don't use them all the time
anymore, but find some days it really helps me when my legs feel like lead.
It really wasn't a hassle to get. The worse part was standing in line at DMV
and you know how fast those lines move. LOL
Good Luck,
Lori
