LINCOLN, Neb. -- (Business Wire)
The Nebraska Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) announced the launch of a new free online service for
individuals who hold a valid handicap parking permit. The Handicap
Parking Permit Public Access application allows users to request a
second handicap parking permit or a replacement permit online.
The DMV receives on average 160 requests monthly for replacement
handicap parking permit placards. Prior to this new online service,
individuals had to mail an application or visit a DMV office to request
the replacement. Now they are able to do so online.
This new service was launched in conjunction with a redesign of the
existing Handicap
Parking Permit online service for medical professionals that was
released earlier in 2012. The new web interface for these services is
more user-friendly across devices, allowing for better compatibility
with tablets and even mobile phones.
The two services were designed to streamline an over-burdened and
over-complicated paper process where the responsibility fell to the
patient who was already facing mobility challenges. Now, in place of
visiting a DMV office to obtain and submit forms, the patient can simply
visit their medical professional to apply for an original parking
permit. And, they may now submit requests for an additional permit for a
second vehicle or a replacement for a lost or mutilated permit from the
comfort of their home without intervention by their doctor and without
obtaining or submitting any forms. The patient receives the new handicap
permit placard and identification card in the mail five to seven days
later.
”We were able to address a cumbersome government process with the launch
of the Medical
Professional application last year, and are very excited to
introduce even more convenience to Nebraska citizens with the new
Handicap Permit Public
Access application which allows permit holders to self-service their
government needs,” says Rhonda K. Lahm, Director of the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles has a large and growing suite
of online services available at www.ClickDMV.ne.gov
including:
Since the launch of the online Handicap Parking Permit system, over
6,500 new and renewal placards have been processed online by medical
professionals.
