MV-664.1K Form: Application Guide for Severe Disability Permits (PDF)

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.

Who Qualifies for a New York Severe Disability Permit or Plates?

New York defines a severe disability as any permanent or temporary condition that significantly impairs mobility. You (or your child) may qualify if you meet one or more of these criteria:

  • Use portable oxygen
  • Are legally blind
  • Have limited or no use of one or both legs
  • Cannot walk 200 feet without stopping
  • Have neuromuscular dysfunction that severely limits mobility
  • Have a Class III or IV cardiac condition (American Heart Association standards)
  • Are severely limited in walking due to arthritis, neurological, or orthopedic conditions
  • Have lung disease restricting forced expiratory volume to less than 1 liter or arterial oxygen tension below 60 mm Hg
  • Have any other physical or mental impairment causing equal hardship in using public transportation

Key facts:

  • Children of any age qualify (a parent/guardian signs).
  • Legally blind persons qualify.
  • No vehicle ownership or driving requirement for permits.
  • License plates require permanent disability and vehicle registration in the disabled person’s name (applicant must be 16+).

Permanent vs. Temporary Disability:

  • Permanent (blue permit): Long-term conditions certified by MD, DO, PA, NP, DPM (foot-related), or OD (blindness).
  • Temporary (red permit): Requires assistive device (cane, crutch, wheelchair, etc.) and lasts 6 months or less; certified only by MD or DO. Expected recovery date must be listed.

    Have a qualified professional complete the appropriate section.

    • Permanent: MD, DO, PA, NP, DPM, or OD.
    • Temporary: Only MD or DO.
      They must check qualifying conditions and explain how the disability limits mobility.
      Waiver possible for obvious visible disabilities (e.g., loss of a leg) or if you already hold plates/permits.
  3. Gather Supporting Documents
    • New York State driver license or non-driver ID (especially for NYC).
    • Vehicle registration copy (for plates).
    • Photo of custom plates showing the International Symbol of Access (ISA), if applicable.
  4. Submit the Application
    • Parking Permit: Take everything to your local issuing agent (NOT DMV).
    • License Plates: Visit any NY DMV office. Pay $25 for ISA plates + $3.75 transaction fee (if not during renewal).

Where to Submit (by Location):

  • Most NY residents: Contact your city, town, or village clerk or local police department.
  • Nassau County: Call (516) 227-7399.
  • New York City: Mail to NYC DOT Permits Office (30-30 Thomson Avenue, 2nd Floor, Long Island City, NY 11101-3045) with ID copy. Call (718) 433-3100.

Permits are issued free in the disabled person’s name. Plates cost $28.75 total when new.

Metered Parking Waiver (Extra Benefit)

If your disability also prevents using parking meters, request the separate MV-664.1MP form (available on dmv.ny.gov). This allows free metered parking statewide (except NYC) when submitted with the same medical certification.

Important Rules and Warnings

  • Use the permit/plates only when the disabled person is in the vehicle.
  • Hang the permit from the rearview mirror when parked; remove when driving.
  • Permits/plates are valid in most other states—check local rules when traveling.
  • Misuse or false statements are a crime: fines $250–$1,000, possible misdemeanor/felony charges, and permit revocation.
