Open ProvincesAccessible parking permit in Nova Scotia: how to apply
How to get an accessible (disability) parking permit in Nova Scotia: who certifies, where to apply and what it costs, from the official pages.
Accessible parking permit
Apply in person or by mail through Access Nova Scotia / the Registry of Motor Vehicles with the form signed by you and your physician. A permit moves between vehicles; plates are tied to one vehicle. Blue permits are permanent and red are temporary. Sources conflict on the fee (free versus about $31), so confirm before you go.
A health professional must certify the mobility limitation almost everywhere. Fees, validity and who may certify change: confirm on the official page before applying. Permits from other provinces are generally honoured when you visit. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
