Nevada classifies qualifying disabilities into three groups: permanent, moderate, and temporary.

For permanent permits, you will be always be mailed a renewal notice prior to expiration and the renewal process is very easy. It’s important to note that no reminder is sent for those with temporary placards, so you must keep track of your permit’s validity yourself.
