You must pick a special form from the County. Then your doctor must sign and certify your need. The County will then issue 2 blue hanging tags, or a license plate for your car. A special red hanging tag is available for a short period when a temporary ailment is involved. I know the blue tags have an expiration date of four years, and must be certified on a continuing basis. I don't know about the term for the license plates, if any.

My wife elected to use the blue tag rather than a license plate. She was concerned about being too visible a target.
