Answer 5

Usually, a doctor need to sign off on the form to get a handicap parking permit. If a doctor feels that you don't need the permit, they won't sign off on it. The following mobility guidelines warrant a parking permit (it varies some from state to state):

(A) cannot walk 200 feet without stopping to rest;

(B) cannot walk without the use of or assistance from an

assistance device, including a brace, cane, crutch,

another person or a prosthetic device;

(C) cannot ambulate without a wheelchair or similar

device;

(D) is restricted by lung disease to the extent that the

person’s forced respiratory expiratory volume for

one second, measured by spirometry, is less than

one liter, or the arterial oxygen tension is less than

60 millimeters of mercury on room air at rest;

(E) uses portable oxygen;

(F) has a cardiac condition to the extent that the person’s

functional limitations are classified in severity as

Class III or Class IV according to standards set by

the American Heart Association;

(G) is severely limited in the ability to walk because of

an arthritic, neurological, or orthopedic condition;

or

(H) has a disorder of the foot that, in the opinion of a

person licensed to practice podiatry in this state or/ and the physician’s or podiatrist’s signature. The

prescription may be on a prescription form or on the

physician’s or podiatrist’s letterhead.

If you are legally a dwarf but have no mobility issues, then your doctor may not sign off on  the handicap pass.

Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that.
