When life happens and something unexpected comes up that changes your life, finding the best and fastest way to deal with the situation is key. If a chronic or temporary disease comes up in your life or the life of someone you know the first thing you want to do is make sure life is able to go smoothly and without inconvenience. Being able to get a handicap permit for a short time or a lifetime can be a lengthy and complicated process but if you are diligent and efficient you can get your permit in no time. With the introduction of new and innovative technologies that are changing the way we interact with one another and spread information, it also offers new ways to speed up the process in which we access the resources we need most.

Getting the paperwork fast

Luckily for the state of Georgia, the application for a temporary or permanent handicap permit can be found online and printed out in a matter of minutes. When you print out the MV-9D form, you will find a lot of personal information that relates to the nature of the application as well as the status of permit you wish to receive. Once you print out the permit sheet and pick your desired length of membership you will have to find a doctor to sign off on the paperwork. There are even some options to have a firm help you file your papers for you if you are unaware of all the information necessary.

Finding the doctor

In a time of urgency and trying to get paperwork filed as quickly as possible, the last thing you want to do is have to go to the doctor’s office or hospital to wait in line for hours to get a signature. Thankfully, for cases where only some prior information and consultation are needed you can be on your way to a permit much quicker than before. Thanks to the advances in modern technology and digital data, you are now able to consult with a doctor from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Thanks to the security and ease of use of new applications you can sign, consult, and send your information to the registry all from a computer.

Getting registered

After you have either gone and visited a doctor or quickly consulted via the internet, you are now able to go to an official Georgia tag office to register and set up your tag information. One downside to going to the registry is that it may be inconvenient with your current condition or it may not be a good time to go on a long drive just to have to wait at a registry for a long time to file simple paperwork. Once again, thanks to the convenience of modern technology you can skip the drive and the lines by having all your information sent to the registry via the internet. Once your online doctor or consultant has deemed your application valid, they can send it to the registry for you and have them take care of your data for you so you don’t have to spend energy and time going out to the office just to hand in some paperwork.

Picking up the permit

Once you have taken care of all the paperwork and consultations, you are finally able to go and pick up your placard or license plate. If it is only a temporary disability that you registered for, then they will supply you with a temporary placard that will allow you to park in handicapped spaces for a limited amount of time until it expires. If you applied and were consulted under the impression that this would be a long term or permanent issue, then they will register you with a license place that will allow you to hold your handicapped status for four years without having to go and get registered again. Finally, if you were injured in combat as a veteran, they will offer you a special veteran plate that recognizes you were disabled in combat and you will only have to reregister your plates whenever you decide to register your vehicle. No matter the method of recognition you chose, you can go and pick it up from the registry once the documents have been filed and completed, or if you have chosen the online route and registration you can actually have your plates or placard mailed to you as soon as it is fully processed.

Conclusion

When disaster strikes and you need a solution, you look for whatever you can find to put you in a better place. Looking to find a solution as quickly as possible and putting yourself in the best place possible all requires finding the best and quickest way to ensure lesser struggles dealing with whatever has been thrown your way. By utilizing the power of internet technology and its ability to connect people, you can speed up the process of getting the services you need faster and more efficiently than ever before.
