1608certifying physician may sign the exemption section of the

1624parking permit unless the applicant states that he or she is a
1625frequent traveler or a quadriplegic. The department may not

1643submit an application on a form prescribed by the department,

1645retained by the issuing agency. If the person submits with the
1646application a police report documenting that the permit was
1647stolen, there is no replacement fee. The requirement to apply
1648for replacement in person does not apply if the severity of the
1649disability prevents a disabled person from physically visiting
1650or being transported to a driver license or tax collector
1651office, and the certifying physician has signed an additional
1652section of the department's parking permit application to exempt
1653the disabled person from the appearance requirement.
1654     (f)  A person who qualifies for a disabled parking permit
1655under this section may be issued an international wheelchair
1656user symbol license plate under s. 320.0843 in lieu of the
1657disabled parking permit; or, if the person qualifies for a "DV"
