To be eligible for a temporary handicap parking permit, the applicant must obtain an application (SP-68) from the Union City Police Department Traffic Bureau located at:

It is recommended that the application be picked up in person by the applicant. The applicant must have their physician certify the application. The application MUST be completed by a licensed physician or it will not be accepted. Return the completed application to the Police Traffic Bureau along with a $4.00 money order to begin the application process.
