Not sure

[Sinamenone]

Good evening I’m currently in DC due to leg surgery last Wednesday. I moved from MD back to PA, but my PCP & surgeon are in D.C. & MD. I have a close friend who drives me back & forth to my appointments & I practically live with her. I’d like her to get a handicap tag/placard, but not sure how to do this. Her car is registered in PA & DL is PA also.
Can I get my surgeon who doesn’t practice in PA to fill the PA form for her? Do we need to get a PA Dr to fill the form which I have no Dr, but I think she may see 1?
I’m confused as to how I can do this.
Thx in advance

I don't think it matters that your Dr is in MD.

What does matter is that you are the disabled person and you have to apply for and care for the placard and not leave it in her car when it's not needed.

Here's the information from PennDot with links to application forms.

In other words, you need a placard for YOU, not a placard for HER.

Get a placard for yourself from your home state. Other states will honor it.

Unless you've omitted relevant facts from your post, your friend has ZERO need for a handicapped placard, and her doctor is not your doctor.

Whether you qualify for one isn't apparent from your post.

Agree. This is the way to go (assuming you qualify).

Thank you all for your replies.
I’ve had over 5 surgeries including last Wednesday & I’m not able to walk. I know I qualify, I’ve also applied for SSD & I’m waiting for their decision.
I Thx u for stressing applying for the placard for me not her. This is y I was confused cuz I wasn’t sure who’s doctor should fill the form & in which state, but I’m clear now.
Thx y’all
