Permanent Disability

Effective July 1, 2010, HB 683 (passed in 2009), allows any Missouri resident who is permanently disabled to request a permanent disability indicator to be placed on their driver or nondriver license. The issuance of this indicator is optional by the applicant.

An applicant will be required to submit a physician's statement to verify permanent disability status, unless a current physician's statement is on file with the Department for a disabled plate or permanent disabled. Your patient may request that you complete a Form 5294, Physician's Statement - Permanent Disability Indicator (Driver License or Nondriver License). If the patient does not have one of these forms, it can be found at http://dor.mo.gov/mvdl/drivers/forms/5294.pdf

For purposes of this indicator the definition of permanently disabled is any person having a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits their ability to perform one or more major life activities and is permanent in nature as determined by a licensed physician, physical therapist or occupational therapist licensed under Chapter 334, RSMo, or authorized licensed healthcare practitioner. A physician's statement will only be required upon the initial request for the indicator.

The indicator (wheelchair symbol) will be printed on the back of the license. The placement of the permanent disability indicator on the driver or nondriver license is not a determination of eligibility for public benefits.
