MV-664.1K Form – If you or a loved one in New York State has a severe disability that limits mobility, the MV-664.1K form provides the official Korean-language guide and application for a severe disability parking permit or disability license plates. This free resource from the New York DMV helps eligible residents park closer to destinations and access reserved spaces statewide.
The MV-664.1K is the Korean translation of the English MV-664.1 form (revised July 2022 and still current in 2026). It serves as both an instruction packet and application for persons with severe disabilities. You can download the official MV-664.1K PDF directly here: https://dmv.ny.gov/forms/mv6641k.pdf.
This guide walks you through eligibility, the step-by-step application process, required medical certification, submission locations, and important rules to avoid penalties.
