Handicapp parking spaces are designated so that the citizen's who are really handicap can park close by, so that they have either access to business and government facilities.
The department that authorizes that is usually the Department of Motor Vehicle and Liscenses . As well as each government state facilitator who are in charge of giving out liscence plates and decals with handicaps on it.
The requirements are stated differently by each state. Look it up under the Law code.
Remember:" Never abuse the disability parking lot none other than individuals that by law are cleared to be disabeled." It pisses them and my self off, who are truly disabeled that other folks come and take their family members decal and park there, even so they are not disabeled. Please do not misuse that law.

I know here in the state of California, as I'm sure that it is in most states.
Your doctor must first think that you would benefit from having a handicapped parking permit.
The next step is to either go to the DMV or if you belong to triple A you can get your handicapped permit through them.
As long as you have your doctors go ahead via paper work then you are allowed to receive a parking permit.
As I stated you can bring the paper work to either the DMV or if you are a member of triple A auto club they also can issue the permit with your doctor's paper work.
Note going through the Triple A auto club is a lot faster than going to the DMV since the DMV is always so busy. They have the placards on site so that it doesn't need to be mailed to you, they will also give you the paper work that shows you are allowed to have and use this.
Also note that you must be disabled to be able to obtain one.

Most areas have a certain percentage of parking spots that must be designated Handicapped. Usually, this is in a City Charter. There may be other legal sources which dictate this.

the DMV, a "doctor note" will be sufficient. Just remember that after that point you are "handicapped" (some legal issues may develop down the road)
