Less Walking on Hard Days

Florida Law Allows It

It Is Florida’s Own Form

The doctor completes form HSMV 83039, the official state form. You take it to your county tax collector yourself.

Every License Is Public

What Patients Say

This process was seamless and well worth it. The doctor reviewed all my medical history and they even requested additional health clarification before issuing the certificate.

Army veteran, September 2026

Working with the team at Provider Notes has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Every interaction is defined by a genuine warmth and welcoming attitude that immediately puts you at ease.

Alexander, Aventura, September 2026

I had a great experience with ProviderNotes.com! I needed to have a Florida Disabled Person Parking Permit application signed, and Dr. Fishman made the process incredibly simple.

$119

Common Questions

Plain answers to the questions people ask most.

Do I need my own medical records?
No. Records help if you have them, but the doctor evaluates your answers either way.
When am I charged?
Not until your evaluation begins. For a case evaluation, that is when the doctor begins reviewing your answers. For a video visit, it is one hour before the visit. Until then, nothing is charged.
Do I have to choose between a case evaluation and a video visit?
Only at the end, with one tap. A case evaluation is reviewed in writing, usually within two business days. A video visit is 5 to 10 minutes at a time you pick. The doctor, the standard and the fee are the same.
How long does a Florida placard last?
A permanent placard is valid for four years and is renewed through the county. A temporary placard lasts up to six months.
What if I am not certified?
You receive a written explanation. The fee covers the evaluation itself and is not refunded.
