Three Ways to File
Pick whichever is easiest.
Online
Go to the Service Oklahoma portal, choose “Replace” as the application type, and enter your information. If the system asks for a physician’s email, your medical certification on file usually means the physician step is a confirmation rather than a full new evaluation.1Service Oklahoma.

In Person
Any Service Oklahoma office or licensed operator (formerly tag agencies) can process the paperwork on the spot, though the physical placard still ships by mail. The main Service Oklahoma office is at 6015 N. Classen Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73118.1Service Oklahoma.

What Goes on the Form
The application is Form 302DC, the Physical Disability Parking Placard Application, available on the Service Oklahoma website or at any licensed operator office.2Service Oklahoma. Physical Disability Parking Placard Application For a replacement of a lost, stolen, or destroyed placard, complete only Section 1: your name, date of birth, mailing address, and driver license or state ID number.3Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. Physical Disability Parking Placard Application Mark the “Replacement (Lost/Stolen/Destroyed)” box under the type of placard requested.
Cost
There is no fee. Service Oklahoma states that a disabled person may apply for a placard at no charge, and the current text of Title 47, Section 15-112 does not impose a replacement fee.1Service Oklahoma. Disability Placard4Justia Law. Oklahoma Statutes Title 47-15-112 – Physical Disability Placards An earlier version of the statute listed a $1.00 replacement fee, but that language is no longer in the code.
When You Need a New Doctor’s Certification
If your placard has not expired, you do not need a new medical certification. The statute simply requires you to apply in writing for a new placard bearing the same expiration date as the original.4Justia Law. Oklahoma Statutes Title 47-15-112 – Physical Disability Placards Your certification is already on file; the state is reprinting your tag, not re-evaluating your eligibility.
The exception is a placard that is expired, or so close to expiring that you would only get a few weeks of use out of the replacement. That situation is a renewal, not a replacement, and requires a full application with a fresh physician signature. A five-year placard expires five years from the last day of the month it was issued. A temporary placard expires on the date the certifying provider estimated your condition would end, up to a maximum of six months.4Justia Law. Oklahoma Statutes Title 47-15-112 – Physical Disability Placards
Your Old Expiration Date Carries Over
A replacement placard inherits the original expiration date. It does not reset the clock.4Justia Law. Oklahoma Statutes Title 47-15-112 – Physical Disability Placards For a five-year placard, that is rarely an issue. For a temporary placard lost partway through its validity, the replacement may only cover the remaining weeks. If your condition continues past that date, you’ll need a new temporary placard with fresh medical certification.
How Long It Takes
Service Oklahoma tells applicants to allow about 20 business days between the date the application is received and the day the placard arrives in the mail.2Service Oklahoma. Physical Disability Parking Placard Application If nothing has come after that, call the Disability Parking Permit Desk at (405) 425-2693.5Service Oklahoma. Disability Services
There is no interim permit while you wait. Without a valid, visible placard or disability license plate, you cannot legally park in a designated accessible space. If you also hold a disability license plate, that plate still entitles you to use those spaces while the hanging placard is in transit.
Don’t Keep Using an Expired Placard
Parking in a disability space without a valid placard or plate is a misdemeanor with a $500 fine, and the vehicle can be towed at the owner’s expense.6Oklahoma.gov. Oklahoma State Disabled Parking Law The same $500 fine applies to letting someone else use your placard when you’re not in the vehicle or to counterfeiting a placard.7New York Codes, Rules and Regulations.

First-time offenders caught with an expired placard have one break available. If you obtain a valid replacement and present proof to the court within 30 days of the citation, the charge can be dismissed without a fine or court costs.6Oklahoma.gov. Oklahoma State Disabled Parking Law Starting the replacement process quickly is what makes that grace period useful.
